FOXA1 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
FOXA1 
Aliases
HNF3A 
Common name
forkhead box A1 
Entrez Id
3169
Description
This gene encodes a member of the forkhead class of DNA-binding proteins. These hepatocyte nuclear factors are transcriptional activators for liver-specific transcripts such as albumin and transthyretin, and they also interact with chromatin. Similar family members in mice have roles in the regulation of metabolism and in the differentiation of the pancreas and liver. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
