Target

  • Function
    Transcriptionally controlled transcription factor. Binds to DNA sites required for the transcription of alpha 1-antitrypsin, apolipoprotein CIII, transthyretin genes and HNF1-alpha. May be essential for development of the liver, kidney and intestine.
  • Involvement in disease
    Defects in HNF4A are the cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1 (MODY1) [MIM:125850]; also symbolized MODY-1. MODY is a form of diabetes that is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset in childhood or early adulthood (usually before 25 years of age), a primary defect in insulin secretion and frequent insulin-independence at the beginning of the disease.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily.
    Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Phosphorylated on tyrosine residue(s); phosphorylation is important for its DNA-binding activity. Phosphorylation may directly or indirectly play a regulatory role in the subnuclear distribution.
  • Cellular localization
    Nucleus.

    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).

    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.
