HNF4 and FOXA motif-containing MPRA enhancers 14 and 42
RGD ID:
38612722
Description:
This genomic region was predicted to be a cell type-specific enhancer based on chromatin state analysis from the ENCODE (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) project. Two overlapping sub-regions were validated as functional enhancers by high-throughput massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) in liver carcinoma HepG2 cells. Each sub-region contains a motif for both the HNF4 and FOXA activators. Mutation of either motif results in reduced enhancer activity. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2017]
