Function |
Binding of FREAC-3 and FREAC-4 to their cognate sites results in bending of the DNA at an angle of 80-90 degrees. Regulates FOXO1 through binding to a conserved element, 5'- GTAAACAAA-3' in its promoter region, implicating FOXC1 as an important regulator of cell viability and resistance to oxidative stress in the eye. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17993506}.
