Abstract excerpt
The winged helix transcription factors, hepatocyte nuclear factors 3alpha, -beta, and -gamma (HNF-3, encoded by the Foxa1, -a2, and -a3 genes, respectively), are expressed early in embryonic endoderm and play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in liver and pancreas. Foxa1 has been shown to be required for glucagon secretion in the pancreas, whereas Foxa2 is critical for the regulation of insulin...
