Gene

Hnf4

Species
Drosophila melanogaster
Symbol
Hnf4
Name
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4
Synonyms
  • CG9310
  • dHNF-4
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and nuclear receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; glucose homeostasis; and lipid oxidation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval fat body; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; epithelium; gut section; and oenocyte. Used to study Fanconi syndrome; maturity-onset diabetes of the young; and maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fanconi renotubular syndrome 4; familial combined hyperlipidemia; hypoglycemia; maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including HNF4A (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha).
FB Description
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (Hnf4) encodes a protein that regulates lipid mobilization and fatty acid beta-oxidation during larval stages. Its expression increases greatly at the onset of adulthood when it promotes glucose-stimulated ILP secretion from the insulin-producing cells, maintains glucose homeostasis, and supports mitochondrial function.
