General description

HNF-3A, Hepatocyte nuclear factor 3-alpha (also called FOXA1) is member of the Forkhead family of winged-helix transcription factors. This protein family has around 50 known transcription factors and play an important role in the regulation of cell differentiation, organogenesis, and gene expression. High levels of expression of HNF-3A has been observed in tumors arising from both the prostate and breast. Here it is believed this protein interacts with the androgen receptor in prostate tumors and the estrogen receptor α in breast tumors. In the case of ERα, HNF-3A interacts with cis-regulatory regions in heterochromatin and enhances the interaction of ERα with chromatin.
