Association between Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 6 (HNF-6) and FoxA2 DNA Binding Domains Stimulates FoxA2 Transcriptional Activity but Inhibits HNF-6 DNA Binding

Abstract excerpt

In previous studies we used transgenic mice or recombinant adenovirus infection to increase hepatic expression of forkhead box A2 (FoxA2, previously called hepatocyte nuclear factor 3beta [HNF-3beta]), which caused diminished hepatocyte glycogen levels and reduced expression of glucose homeostasis genes. Because this diminished expression of FoxA2 target genes was associated with reduced levels of the...
