Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in negative regulation of cytokine production and regulation of T cell anergy. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of T cell tolerance induction; regulation of T cell activation; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and retina. Used to study Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and immune dysregulation-polyendocrinopathy-enteropathy-X-linked syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Human papillomavirus infectious disease; colorectal cancer; immune dysregulation-polyendocrinopathy-enteropathy-X-linked syndrome; pulmonary tuberculosis; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FOXP3 (forkhead box P3).
