Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA endoreduplication; insulin receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of programmed cell death. Located in nucleus and polytene chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including blastoderm embryo; central nervous system; extended germ band embryo; germ layer; and gut section. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including FOXA2 (forkhead box A2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Title: Intestinal Fork Head Regulates Nutrient Absorption and Promotes Longevity.
Fkh maintains the expression of stem/progenitor cell markers and is required for stem cell proliferation during intestinal homeostasis and regeneration.It prevents intestinal stem/progenitor cells from precocious differentiation into the enterocyte lineage, likely in cooperation with bHLH/Daughterless. Its loss suppresses the intestinal tumorigenesis caused by Notch pathway inactivation.

Fkh cooperates with the salivary gland-specific bHLH protein Sage to directly regulate expression of PH4alphaSG2, as well as sage itself, and to indirectly regulate expression of PH4alphaSG1.
Title: Fork head and Sage maintain a uniform and patent salivary gland lumen through regulation of two downstream target genes, PH4alphaSG1 and PH4alphaSG2.
