FITC Anti-Mouse Foxp3 (3G3)

Foxp3 (forkhead box P3), also named as IPEX, JM2 and scurfin, is a member of the forkhead transcription factor family and is essential for normal immune homeostasis (PMID: 11138001; 20429413). Foxp3 is specifically expressed in CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells and is crucial for their development and suppressive activity (PMID: 12612578; 12612581). In scurfy mouse, disruption of Foxp3 results in the fatal lymphoproliferative disorder attributed to the lack of an immune-suppressive component in the immune system (PMID: 25683611; 11138001). Similar to mice, genetic defects in human Foxp3 are the cause of immunodeficiency polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome (IPEX) which also known as X-linked autoimmunity-immunodeficiency syndrome (PMID: 11137993).
