Forkhead box protein H1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOXH1 gene.
FOXH1 encodes a human homolog of Xenopus forkhead activin signal transducer-1. FOXH1 protein binds SMAD2 and activates an activin response element via binding the DNA motif TGT(G/T)(T/G)ATT.
FOXH1 has been shown to interact with DRAP1 and Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2.
