FOXO4

FOXO4 in peptide catalogues usually means FOXO4-DRI, a D-retro-inverso peptide designed to disrupt the FOXO4–p53 interaction in senescent cells. The shorthand is incomplete, so the exact sequence and stereochemistry must be verified.

Understanding Foxo4

Explore the science, research focus, and key information behind this compound.

What is Foxo4?

FOXO4-related peptides are selected for targeted work on transcription-factor signalling and cellular senescence.

What Researchers Study

Researchers examine FOXO4 pathway activity, Cellular-senescence models, and Stress-response signalling.

How Foxo4 Works

Senescent cells can use FOXO4 to retain p53 in the nucleus and resist apoptosis. FOXO4-DRI was designed to disturb that interaction, allowing p53 relocation and selective death in some senescent-cell models. In plain language, the peptide tries to remove a survival signal from selected aged cells.

Research at a Glance

Senescent-cell targeting improved selected mouse outcomes. A 2017 study reported that FOXO4-DRI promoted apoptosis in senescent cells and improved several measures in aged and chemotherapy-exposed mice. It was not a human longevity trial. Read the primary Cell paper. “FOXO4” is a protein name, not a complete product description. The research peptide’s retro-inverso design and D-amino-acid stereochemistry are central to stability and function. An unspecified FOXO4 label cannot support the same evidence claim. Senolytic activity is not proven human rejuvenation. Clearing cells in selected laboratory models can reveal biology while leaving delivery, tissue effects, immune consequences, dosing, and long-term safety unanswered.
