Related Product Information for anti-HNF-4 antibody
Background: HNF-4 (Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4), a member of the steroid/thyroid nuclear receptor superfamily, is a transcriptional factor which expresses in the liver, intestine, kidney, and pancreatic cells. It contains several functional domains: a ligand-independent activation domain (AF1), a zinc finger DNA binding domain, and a ligand-dependent activation domain (AF2). HNF-4 binds to a specific DNA element as a homodimer and regulates the expression of many genes, involved in glucose, fatty acid, and cholesterol metabolisms.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor involved in the development of the pancreas, liver, kidney, and intestines. The encoded protein also functions to maintain glucose homeostasis. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Uniprot Description

HNF4 alpha: a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. Controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic gene, alpha 1-antitrypsin, apolipoprotein CIII, and transthyretin genes. May be essential for development of the liver, kidney and intestine. Mutations have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Four alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.

Product Notes

The HNF-4 hnf4a (Catalog #AAA840282) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The HNF-4 Antibody reacts with Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's HNF-4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western blotting (0.5-4 ug/ml). However, the optimal concentrations should be determined individually. Mouse small intestine and rat kidney tissue lysates can be used as positive controls. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the HNF-4 hnf4a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "HNF-4, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
