Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta(HNF-1beta) in human urogenital organs: its expression and role in embryogenesis and tumorigenesis.
1 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Molecules responsible for embryogenesis are often involved in tumorigenesis. Recent exhaustive cDNA microarray analyses in human neoplasms expanded knowledge of such molecules. Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta (HNF-1beta) is a homeobox transcription factor that functions as a homodimer or heterodimer with HNF-1alpha. In contrast to HNF-1alpha, HNF-1beta is very weakly expressed in the liver and is commonly...
