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.
