Target/Analyte:
Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4, Alpha

Short Name HNF4A
Description The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. The encoded
protein controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription
factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic genes. This gene may play a role in development of the
liver, kidney, and intestines. Mutations in this gene have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant
non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript
variants encoding several different isoforms. (provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012)
