Gene Information

human ... FOXA2(3170)

General description

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)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Forkhead box A2 (FOXA2) expressed in the liver, pancreas, intestine, and lungs, is associated with embryonic formation of the primitive streak and endoderm. It also plays an important role in airway epithelial differentiation and is extensively expressed in type II pneumocytes. Decreased expression of Foxa2 is observed in lung cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). FOXA2 plays a vital role in normal pancreatic β-cell function, therefore, aberration in the expression of the gene leads to hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. FOXA2 also has an essential role in pancreatic α-cell differentiation. FOXA2 expressed along with FOXA1 in the foregut endoderm plays a vital role in liver, hepatic and neuronal development, these factors also have an overlapping role in lung morphogenesis. FOXA2 acts a regulator of the network of gene associated with the intestinal epithelial cell function. Increased expression of FOXA2 in MKN-45 cells (human gastric cancer cell line) elevates E-cadherin expression and inhibits gastric cancer cell migration and invasion and therefore, FOXA2 is expressed at low levels in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues.
