Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nHepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF1α, also known as TCF1 or MODY3) is a transcription factor that plays a role in the tissue-specific regulation of liver gene expression (1). Research has shown that heterogeneous mutations of HNF1α are linked to maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) (2). Recent studies indicate that increased concentrations of free fatty acids can reduce the expression of FoxA2\/HNF3β and HNF1α in pancreatic β-cells and lead to their nuclear exclusion, resulting in symptoms of several metabolic syndromes (3). HNF1α is inhibited through Akt2-mediated phosphorylation at Ser247 and is a negative regulator of PPARγ gene transcription. Research studies have shown that inhibition of PPARγ is beneficial in steatosis-associated liver cancer in mouse models (4).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nalbumin proximal factor; hepatic nuclear factor 1; Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha; HNF-1-alpha; HNF-1A; HNF1; HNF1 homeobox A; HNF1A; HNF4A; IDDM20; interferon production regulator factor; LF-B1, hepatic nuclear factor (HNF1), albumin proximal factor; LFB1; Liver-specific transcription factor LF-B1; MODY3; TCF-1; TCF1; Transcription factor 1; transcription factor 1, hepatic; truncated hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 81\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799811117225,"sku":"54542S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-54542s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
