Protein function (UniProt)

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha

Transcriptional activator that regulates the tissue specific expression of multiple genes, especially in pancreatic islet cells and in liver (By similarity). Binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3' (PubMed:10966642, PubMed:12453420). Activates the transcription of CYP1A2, CYP2E1 and CYP3A11 (By similarity)
