A transcription factor, called FREAC 11, which is a member of the forkhead family of transcription factors. FREAC 11 is expressed in adipose tissue and regulates adipose tissue expressed genes involved in lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. Methods for treating obesity related conditions are described.
FREAC-11 gene (encoding 110 amino acid DNA binding domain of FREAC 11 binds to cis elements) and transcription factors as regulatory elements to treat obesity related diseases
