Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Forkhead box, class O (FoxO) transcription factors play important roles in cell fate, differentiation, survival, and stress regulation. A subtype of mammalian FoxO transcription factors, FoxO3a, is widely distributed in the brain, and its activity is regulated by neurotrophins, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), resulting in transcriptional inactivation of FoxO3a.
