Uniprot Id

P20823

Target Species

Human

Target Name

HNF1A

Target Full Name

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha

Target Function

Transcriptional activator that regulates the tissue specific expression of multiple genes, especially in pancreatic islet cells and in liver. Binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3'. Activates the transcription of CYP1A2, CYP2E1 and CYP3A11.

Target Involvement

Hepatic adenomas familial (HEPAF); Maturity-onset diabetes of the young 3 (MODY3); Diabetes mellitus, insulin-dependent, 20 (IDDM20)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

HNF1 homeobox family

Target Tissue Specificity

Liver.

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor required for the expression of several liver-specific genes. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3'. Defects in this gene are a cause of maturity onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) and also can result in the appearance of hepatic adenomas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
