Supplementary information

HNF-4-alpha also known as hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha (HNF4A) is a nuclear protein that functions as a transcription factor. It plays an important role in regulating gene expression in the liver kidney and intestine. HNF-4-alpha has a molecular mass of about 54 kDa and is expressed in tissues where it maintains cellular differentiation and metabolic homeostasis. In cellular assays such as ELISA and CHIP detection of HNF-4-alpha provides insights into its expression levels and activity in various biological contexts.
Biological function summary

HNF-4-alpha influences the expression of genes involved in liver and pancreatic function. It acts as a transcriptional regulator that controls fatty acid oxidation gluconeogenesis and insulin secretion. HNF-4-alpha interacts with other proteins to form transcriptional complexes that fine-tune the expression of metabolic enzymes and transport proteins. This protein is key to ensuring that metabolic genes are expressed in a coordinated manner which is essential for maintaining normal metabolic processes.

Pathways

HNF-4-alpha participates in the insulin signaling and lipid metabolism pathways. Through these pathways it interacts with other transcription factors such as HNF-1-alpha and PPAR-alpha which coordinate the regulation of genes involved in glucose metabolism and fatty acid oxidation. HNF-4-alpha plays a critical role by modulating the expression of enzymes like gluconeogenic enzymes in response to metabolic needs which connects it to key metabolic pathways influencing overall energy homeostasis.

HNF-4-alpha is linked to maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY1) and certain types of liver diseases. Mutations or dysregulation in HNF-4-alpha can affect the expression of genes essential for insulin production and glucose metabolism leading to disorders like diabetes. Additionally HNF-4-alpha interacts with other proteins and transcription factors implicated in these conditions such as HNF-1-alpha. Understanding the role of HNF-4-alpha in these diseases can provide insights into potential therapeutic targets and intervention strategies.

Target data

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-BMAL1 transcriptional activity and is essential for circadian rhythm maintenance and period regulation in the liver and colon cells (PubMed : 30530698).
