Hepatocyte nuclear factor molecule C015 / 7699
Hepatocyte nuclear factor. Molecule model of the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 1alpha (HNF-1a). Transcription factors are proteins that bind to specific sequences of DNA and control the transcription (transfer) of genetic information from DNA to RNA (ribonucleic acid). HNF-1a is predominantly expressed in the liver where it is involved in regulating insulin expression and glucose metabolism. Mutations in this protein cause a form of type II diabetes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Hepatocyte nuclear factor molecule C015 / 7699, also known as HNF-1a. The black background accentuates the molecular model's striking features, making it a visually stunning piece of artwork. HNF-1a is a crucial transcription factor found predominantly in the liver. Its primary role lies in regulating insulin expression and glucose metabolism, making it an essential player in maintaining proper blood sugar levels. However, mutations in this protein can lead to a specific form of type II diabetes. The image beautifully captures the complexity and elegance of this regulatory molecule. Transcription factors like HNF-1a bind to specific sequences of DNA, controlling the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA – ribonucleic acid. With its detailed depiction, this photograph serves as a valuable tool for both biology and medicine enthusiasts alike. It offers insight into gene regulation processes while highlighting the importance of proteins like HNF-1a in our overall health. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this illustration combines elements from biochemistry and molecular biology with artistic flair. Its spacefilled representation adds depth to our understanding of how molecules function at such minuscule scales. Overall, this print not only captivates viewers with its aesthetic appeal but also educates us about critical biological processes that impact human health significantly
