FOXN1 is a 648aa protein belongs to winged helix:forkhead family containing 1 fork-head DNA-binding domain and is a transcriptional regulator involved in development. It is involved in directing lineage choices of multi-potential progenitor epithelial cells and controls important regulating genes of lympho-epithelial interactions. It modulates keratinocyte differentiation in hair follicle and nail apparatus and its defects leads to T-cell immunodeficiency congenital alopecia, nail dystrophy, macroscopic nudity and an inborn dysgenesis of the thymus. It is expressed in hair follicles, skin and nail apparatus.
