HNF4α/γ (K127) polyclonal antibody

HNF-1 (α and β), HNF-3 (α, β and γ), HNF-4 (α and γ), 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-3α, HNF-3β and HNF-3γ regulate the transcription of numerous hepatocyte genes in adult liver. HNF-3α and HNF-3β have also been shown to be involved in gastrulation events such as body axis formation. HNF-4α and HNF-4γ have been shown to be important for early embryo development. HNF-4α is expressed in liver, kidney, pancreas, small intestine, testis and colon; and HNF-4γ is expressed in each of these tissues except liver.
