hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta; variant hepatic nuclear factor; VHNF1; homeoprotein LF;B3, transcription factor-2; homeoprotein LFB3 (HNF1B, TCF2)

Forms homodimers & heterodimers with LFB1. Function: - transcription factor, probably binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3' - binds DNA as a dimer - can form homodimer or heterodimer with HNF1-alpha Structure: - belongs to the HNF1 homeobox family - contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain Compartment: nucleus Alternative splicing: named isoforms=3 Pathology: - defects in HNF1B are the cause of a) maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5) b) familial hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease c) Muellerian aplasia - defects in HNF1B may be rare genetic risk factor contributing to the development of diabetes mellitus type-2 Laboratory: - HNF1B gene mutation
