Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for FOXA2(NM_021784.4) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes a member of the forkhead class of DNA-binding proteins. These hepatocyte nuclear factors are transcriptional activators for liver-specific genes such as albumin and transthyretin, and they also interact with chromatin. Similar family members in mice have roles in the regulation of metabolism and in the differentiation of the pancreas and liver. This gene has been linked to sporadic cases of maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq].

- activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt by insulin induces Foxa-2 phosphorylation, nuclear exclusion, and inhibition of Foxa-2-dependent transcriptional activity
- HNF3beta represses transcription of the OATP8 but not the OATP-C gene, providing a mechanism for reduced expression of OATP8 in hepatocellular carcinoma
- Hepatic nuclear factor 3 and nuclear factor 1 regulate 5-aminolevulinate synthase gene expression and are involved in insulin repression
- Expression of HNF3 beta led to significant growth reduction, proliferation arrest, apoptosis, and loss of clonogenic ability, suggesting additionally that HNF3 beta is a novel tumor suppressor in lung cancer.
- the HNF-3 site in the fibrinogen beta promoter is important for IL6-induced expression, and its activity is influenced by the adjacent -148C/T polymorphism
- suggest that Foxa proteins are important in prostate carcinogenesis; in particular, Foxa2 may be involved in progression of prostate cancer to androgen independence
- HESCs expressing FOXA2 gene were induced to differentiate via embryoid bodies.
- These results define a critical role for Fox-1 and Fox-2 proteins in exon 4 inclusion of calcitonin/CGRP pre-mRNA and establish a regulatory network that controls the fate of exon 4.
- HNF6 DNA binding is selectively abrogated through lack of post-translational modification and interaction with FOXA2. Targeting of FOXA2 and HNF6 may therefore enable mechanism-based therapy for colorectal liver metastases

- Genetic variants of FOXA2 are associated with type 2 diabetes.
