Regulation of Apolipoprotein M Gene Expression by MODY3 Gene Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor-1α
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1a (HNF-1alpha) is a transcription factor that plays an important role in regulation of gene expression in pancreatic beta-cells, intestine, kidney, and liver. Heterozygous mutations in the HNF-1alpha gene are responsible for maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3), which is characterized by pancreatic beta-cell-deficient insulin secretion. HNF-1alpha is a major transcriptional...
