Function

Transcription factor that is involved in embryonic development, establishment of tissue-specific gene expression and regulation of gene expression in differentiated tissues. Is thought to act as a 'pioneer' factor opening the compacted chromatin for other proteins through interactions with nucleosomal core histones and thereby replacing linker histones at target enhancer and/or promoter sites. Binds DNA with the consensus sequence 5'-[AC]A[AT]T[AG]TT[GT][AG][CT]T[CT]-3' (By similarity). In embryonic development is required for notochord formation. Involved in the development of multiple endoderm-derived organ systems such as the liver, pancreas and lungs; FOXA1 and FOXA2 seem to have at least in part redundant roles. Originally described as a transcription activator for a number of liver genes such as AFP, albumin, tyrosine aminotransferase, PEPCK, etc. Interacts with the cis-acting regulatory regions of these genes. Involved in glucose homeostasis; regulates the expression of genes important for glucose sensing in pancreatic beta-cells and glucose homeostasis. Involved in regulation of fat metabolism. Binds to fibrinogen beta promoter and is involved in IL6-induced fibrinogen beta transcriptional activation.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

FOXA2 also known as HNF3B is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in gene regulation. This protein has a mass of approximately 47 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including the liver pancreas and lung. Researchers detect FOXA2 using techniques like ELISA for protein quantification. Its function involves regulating the expression of genes critical for development and metabolism.

Biological function summary

FOXA2 influences important processes in embryonic development and organogenesis. It does not typically act as part of a larger complex but independently binds to DNA enabling the transcription of target genes. FOXA2 affects liver function by regulating genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism and it also plays a part in the differentiation of cells in development stages.

Pathways

FOXA2 operates within pathways like the insulin signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. It collaborates with other transcription factors like FOXA1 and FOXA3 to maintain metabolic homeostasis. In the Wnt pathway FOXA2 impacts cell fate decisions essential for embryonic patterning and development.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in FOXA2 expression have connections to conditions such as diabetes and liver diseases. Changes in FOXA2 expression could disrupt liver metabolism leading to metabolic disorders. Moreover FOXA2 ties to the regulation of other proteins like PDX1 in the context of diabetes where it plays a role in insulin biosynthesis and pancreatic cell function.

The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab60721, 0.5μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C.
