Abstract
The Foxo1 forkhead transcription factor is a critical negative regulator of insulin action. In this issue of The EMBO Journal , Nakae and colleagues (Nakae et al , 2012) describe a novel Foxo1 Co‐Repressor (FCoR) protein in adipocytes, showing that FCoR enhances the acetylation of Foxo1 to inhibit Foxo1 activity, promote adipocyte differentiation, and improve insulin sensitivity.
