FOXO1

FOXO1 is a gene that produces a protein playing a key role in regulating how cells grow, survive, and respond to stress. It acts as a switch that can turn on or off certain genes involved in processes like cell cycle control, metabolism, and aging. In healthy conditions, FOXO1 helps maintain cellular balance and prevents diseases like cancer and diabetes. Its activity is influenced by signals from the body, such as insulin. When functioning properly, FOXO1 supports cell health and longevity; when disrupted, it can contribute to various health issues.
