Also known as: Hnf3a
Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of hydrogen peroxide-mediated programmed cell death and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in fibrillar center; microvillus; and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and lung cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human FOXA1 (forkhead box A1).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
