FOXK1 and chronic kidney disease: Data from other studies have indicated the essential role of FOX family members in organ fibrosis.[19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24] As a member of the FOX family, FOXK1 possesses fundamental roles in regulating a few cellular processes, including autophagy and cell proliferation.[25, 26] What is noteworthy is the reports that FOXK1 mediated aerobic glycolysis in adipocyte cells via regulating glycolysis‐related enzymes, hexokinase‐II (HK2) and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2).[27] The role of FOXK1 in CKD and TECs glycolysis, however, remain largely unexplored.
