FOXA3 forkhead box A3

Gene ID: 3171, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FKHH3; HNF3G; TCF3G

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the forkhead class of DNA-binding proteins. These hepatocyte nuclear factors are transcriptional activators for liver-specific transcripts 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. The crystal structure of a similar protein in rat has been resolved.
