Abstract excerpt
Forkhead box K2 (FOXK2) belongs to the forkhead box transcription factor family. Recent studies have revealed that FOXK2 plays essential roles in cancer cell proliferation and survival. However, the biological function of FOXK2 in renal cell carcinoma remains unexplored. In our study, we demonstrated that FOXK2 mRNA and protein levels were decreased in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tissues compared to...
