Recombinant Human Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF1B)

Uniprot Id

P35680

Target Species

Human

Target Name

HNF1B

Target Full Name

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta

Target Function

Transcription factor that binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3'. Binds to the FPC element in the cAMP regulatory unit of the PLAU gene. Transcriptional activity is increased by coactivator PCBD1.

Target Involvement

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

HNF1 homeobox family

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the homeodomain-containing superfamily of transcription factors. The protein binds to DNA as either a homodimer, or a heterodimer with the related protein hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha. The gene has been shown to function in nephron development, and regulates development of the embryonic pancreas. Mutations in this gene result in renal cysts and diabetes syndrome and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and expression of this gene is altered in some types of cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
