Gene

Hnf4a

Species
Rattus norvegicus
Symbol
Hnf4a
Name
hepatocyte nuclear factor 4, alpha
Synonyms
  • alpha transcription factor 4
  • hepatic nuclear factor 4
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; anion binding activity; and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Involved in several processes, including hepatocyte differentiation; negative regulation of non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity; and positive regulation of biosynthetic process. Located in nucleus. Biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma and type 2 diabetes mellitus. 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 human HNF4A (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha).
