Summary: Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell communication; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of phosphate metabolic process. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study hepatocellular adenoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. Biomarker of extrahepatic cholestasis and kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); cerebral infarction; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human HNF1A (HNF1 homeobox A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
