Protein attributes

Sequence length	489 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Transcription repression factor which plays an important role in the establishment of the regional subdivision of the developing brain and in the development of the telencephalon. Ref.6
Subunit structure	Interacts with KDM5B. Ref.6
Subcellular location	Nucleus Ref.8.
Tissue specificity	Expression is restricted to the neurons of the developing telencephalon. Ref.1
Involvement in disease	Rett syndrome congenital variant (RTTCV) [MIM:613454]: A severe neurodevelopmental disorder with features of classic Rett syndrome but earlier onset in the first months of life. Clinical features include progressive microcephaly, hypotonia, irresponsiveness and irritability in the neonatal period, mental retardation, psychomotor regression and stereotypical movements. Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.8 Ref.9
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 fork-head DNA-binding domain.
Caution	Ref.1 claims that there are 3 different FOXG1 proteins, FOXG1A, FOXG1B, and FOXG1C. It was latter found that there is only one gene and the differences between these three may be sequencing errors since the protein is coded in a unique exon.
