Forkhead transcription factors and cardiovascular biology

Circ Res. 2008 Jan 4;102(1):16-31. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.107.164186.

Abstract

The Forkhead family of transcription factors modulates a wide variety of cellular functions in cardiovascular tissues. In this review article, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of regulation provided by the forkhead factors in cardiac myocytes and vascular cells.
