HNF1B HNF1 homeobox B

Gene ID: 6928, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: T2D; FJHN; HNF2; LFB3; RCAD; TCF2; HPC11; LF-B3; MODY5; TCF-2; VHNF1; ADTKD3; HNF-1B; HNF1beta; HNF-1-beta

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the homeodomain-containing superfamily of transcription factors. The protein binds to DNA as either a homodimer, or a heterodimer with the related protein hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha. The gene has been shown to function in nephron development, and regulates development of the embryonic pancreas. Mutations in this gene result in renal cysts and diabetes syndrome and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and expression of this gene is altered in some types of cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
