Related Product Information for anti-HNF4A antibody
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4a (HNF4a) is a transcription factor that belongs to the steroid hormone receptor superfamily and is enriched in liver (1). HNF4a, in association with PGC-1a, activates gluconeogenic genes such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucose-6-phosphatase genes in fasted livers (2,3). Conditional knockout of the HNF4a gene in the mouse liver destroys lipid homeostasis and leads to lipid accumulation in the liver and a reduction of serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels (4). Mutations in HNF4a have been linked to maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) (5).

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear transcription factor which binds DNA as a homodimer. The encoded protein controls the expression of several genes, including hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha, a transcription factor which regulates the expression of several hepatic genes. This gene may play a role in development of the liver, kidney, and intestines. Mutations in this gene have been associated with monogenic autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

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 HNF4A hnf4a (Catalog #AAA9414172) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The HNF4A Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's HNF4A can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF). Western blotting: 1:500 - 1:2000 Immunohistochemistry: 1:50 - 1:100 Immunofluorescence: 1:50 - 1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the HNF4A 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 "HNF4A, 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.
