HNF4A

Gene
HNF4A
Protein
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
474 amino acids
Function
Transcriptional regulator which controls the expression of hepatic genes during the transition of endodermal cells to hepatic progenitor cells, facilitating the recruitment of RNA pol II to the promoters of target genes (PubMed:30597922). Activates the transcription of CYP2C38 (By similarity). Represses the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 transcriptional activity and is essential for circadian rhythm maintenance and period regulation in the liver and colon cells (PubMed:30530698).
Similarity
Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily.

Protein
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha
Organism
Xenopus laevis
Length
464 amino acids
Function
Transcriptional regulator; binds and activates the promoter for the HNF1-alpha gene (PubMed:8808405). Potential initiator of a transcriptional cascade within a subset of cells committed to a specific developmental program (PubMed:8808405). Could be a determinant for asymmetry in early development (PubMed:8808405). May play a role in the regulation of the circadian clock (By similarity).
