ChIP - Anti-HNF-4-alpha antibody [EPR16885] - ChIP Grade (AB181604)
Chromatin was prepared from HepG2 (Human liver hepatocellular carcinoma) cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 25μg of chromatin, 2μg of ab181604 (blue), and 20μl of Anti rabbit IgG sepharose beads. 2μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Sybr green approach).

Western blot - Anti-HNF-4-alpha antibody [EPR16885] - ChIP Grade (AB181604)
This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-Tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 60 minutes before being transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was blocked for an hour before being incubated with ab181604 (rabbit monoclonal [EPR16885] to HNF-4-alpha; dilution 1 : 10000) and loading control ab18058 (mouse monoclonal [SPM227] to Vinculin; dilution 1 : 10000) at 4°C overnight. Antibody binding was detected with ab216773 (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW); green; dilution 1 : 20000) and ab216776 (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD), red; dilution 1 : 20000) for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

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.
