HNF4alpha/y (Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4-alpha, HNF-4-alpha, Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 2 group A Member 1, Transcription Factor 14, TCF-14, Transcription Factor HNF-4, HNF4A, HNF4, NR2A1, TCF14, Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4-gamma, HNF-4-gamma, Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 2 group A Member 2, HNF4G, NR2A2, HNF4y, HNF-4y, HNF-4alpha)

HNF-1 (alpha and beta), HNF-3 (alpha, beta and y), HNF-4 (alpha and y), and HNF-6 compose, in part, a homoeprotein family designated the Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor family. The various HNF-1 isoforms regulate transcription of genes in the liver as well as in other tissues such as kidney, small intestine and thymus. HNF-3alpha, HNF-3beta and HNF-3y regulate the transcription of numerous hepatocyte genes in adult liver. HNF-3alpha and HNF-3beta have also been shown to be involved in gastrulation events such as body axis formation. HNF-4alpha and HNF-4y have been shown to be important for early embryo...
