Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 (HNF-4) is a transcription factor of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily that is constitutively active without the addition of exogenous ligand. Crystallographic analysis of the HNF-4alpha and HNF-4gamma ligand binding domains (LBDs) demonstrated the presence of endogenous ligands that may act as structural cofactors for HNF-4. It was also proposed by crystallographic studies that...
