Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A) also known as NR2A1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group A, member 1) is a nuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the HNF4A gene.^[5]^[6]

Function

HNF-4α is a nuclear transcription factor that binds DNA as a homodimer. The encoded protein controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic genes. This gene plays a role in development of the liver , kidney , and intestines . Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.^[7]

HNF4A is required for the PXR and CAR-mediated transcriptional activation of CYP3A4.^[8] Genetic mutations in the HNF4A gene can influence the activity of HNF4α's downstream proteins such as CYP2D6, in vitro and in vivo.^[9]^[10]

The alkaloid berberine upregulates the expression of HNF4A.^[11]

This gene also plays a pivotal role in the expression and synthesis of SHBG, an important glycoprotein made primarily in the liver, which in addition to lowering insulin-resistance also serves in reducing levels of free Estrogen as-well as prolonging the half-life of Testosterone.

Function of HNF4A gene can be effectively examined by siRNA knockdown based on an independent validation.^[12]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the HNF4A gene are associated with a form of diabetes called maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY).^[13]

Increased amplification of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha has been observed in colorectal cancer.^[14]

Interactions

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha has been shown to interact with:
