Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha (HNF4alpha) is a tissue-specific transcription factor known to regulate a large number of genes in hepatocytes and pancreatic beta cells. Although HNF4alpha is highly expressed in some sections of the kidney, little is known about its role in this organ and about HNF4alpha-regulated genes in the kidney cells. The abundance and activity of HNF4alpha are frequently reduced in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) indicating some tumor suppressing function of HNF4alpha in rena ...[more]
