Study found that FoxR2 is frequently upregulated in ovarian cancer (OC) and associated with worse histologic grade and poor survival. FOXR2 expression was related to cell growth, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, whereas its silencing suppressed the malignant phenotype. Angiogenesis was also stimulated by FoxR2 overexpression by enhancing VEGF expression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
