The role of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) in the metabolic regulation of its target genes

The nuclear receptor Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4a (HNF4a; NR2A1) regulates the transcription of many genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Genetic linkage analyses have implicated HNF4a in the disease processes leading to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and dyslipidaemia. The aim of this study wa...
