Facts about Forkhead box protein C1.
Upon DNA-binding, promotes DNA bending (PubMed:7957066, PubMed:14506133). Stimulates Indian hedgehog (Ihh)- induced target gene expression mediated by the transcription factor GLI2, and hence regulates endochondral ossification (By similarity).

Expressed in keratinocytes of epidermis and hair follicle (PubMed:27907090). Expressed strongly in microvascular invasion (MVI) formation, basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) and hepatocellular tumors (PubMed:20406990, PubMed:22991501). Expressed in breast cancers (at protein level) (PubMed:26565916). Expressed in hematopoietic cells (PubMed:8499623).
Nucleus. Colocalizes with PITX2 isoform 3 in the nucleus at subnuclear chromatine regions (PubMed:16449236). Colocalizes with CBX5 to a heterochromatin-rich region of the nucleus (PubMed:15684392). Colocalizes with GLI2 in the nucleus (By similarity).
