Anti-HNF1A, clone HNF1A/2087

1 mg/ml in 1X PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free. HNF1A belongs to the homeobox protein family and is an essential transcription factor for many hepatic genes involved in detoxification, homeostasis and metabolisms of glucose, lipid, steroid and amino acid. In addition, HNF1A is an important component of the transcriptional networks governing embryonic pancreas development and differentiation. as well as maintaining the growth and function of islet cells in adult. HNF1A (Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha) is a transcription factor that is known to regulate pancreatic differentiation and maintain homeostasis of endocrine pancreas. Recently, genome-wide association studies have implicated HNF1A as a susceptibility gene for pancreatic cancer. Protein function: Transcriptional activator that regulates the tissue specific expression of multiple genes, especially in pancreatic islet cells and in liver. Required for the expression of several liver specific genes. Binds to the inverted palindrome 5'- GTTAATNATTAAC-3'. [The UniProt Consortium]
