Also known as NR2A2

Summary

HNF4G (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 gamma, HGNC:5026) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8q21.13, encoding Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-gamma (Q14541). Transcription factor.

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in several cellular components, including intercellular bridge; mitotic spindle; and nucleoplasm.
