Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha activates promoter 1 of the human insulin-like growth factor I gene via two distinct binding sites. [PDF]
Expression of the human insulin-like growth factor I (hIGF-I) gene is regulated in a tissue- and developmental stage-specific manner. The hIGF-I gene has two promoters, P1 and P2. P1 is the more active promoter by far in adult liver, the main endocrine source of IGF-I.

Liver receptor homolog-1 (NR5A2) orchestrates hepatic inflammation and TNF-induced cell death
Summary: The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) has been shown to promote apoptosis resistance in various tissues and disease contexts; however, its role in liver cell death remains unexplored.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha mutation in normal glucose-tolerant subjects and early-onset type 2 diabetic patients [PDF]
The prevalence of diabetes in Korea is reported to be approximately 10%, but cases of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) are rare in Korea. A diagnostic technique for autosomal dominant MODY is being actively sought. In this regard, we used a DNA chip to investigate the frequency of mutations of the MODY3 gene (hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha)

Pterin-4a-carbinolamine dehydratase/dimerization cofactor for hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α is a protein with two different functions. We have overexpressed and purified the human wild-type protein, and its Cys81Ser and Cys81Arg mutants. The Cys81Arg mutant has been proposed to be causative in a hyperphenylalaninaemic patient [Citron, B. A., Kaufman, S.,

Elevated levels of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) in the plasma are a risk factor for coronary artery disease and stroke. Plasma Lp(a) concentrations are highly heritable and predominantly determined by the liver-specific apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) gene.

A Novel HNF4A Mutation Causing Three Phenotypic Forms of Glucose Dysregulation in a Family
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) classically describes dominantly inherited forms of monogenic diabetes diagnosed before 25 years of age due to pancreatic β-cell dysfunction.

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor-1α Gene Mutations and Diabetes in Norway [PDF]
Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1 alpha gene cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), type 3. To estimate the prevalence of MODY3 in Norwegian diabetic pedigrees, we screened a total of 130 families for HNF-1 alpha mutations; 42 families with clinical MODY, 75 with suspected MODY, and 13 pedigrees with multiplex type 1 ...

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha (HNF-1 alpha) and HNF-1 beta are transcription factors that contain a divergent homeodomain, bind to DNA as homo- or heterodimers, and act to regulate transcription of many genes that are expressed primarily in liver.

Development and characterization of a new human hepatic cell line [PDF]
The increasing demand and hampered use of primary human hepatocytes for research purposes have urged scientists to search for alternative cell sources, such as immortalized hepatic cell lines.
