Background: FOXA2 is a member of the forkhead box family of DNA-binding proteins. FOXA2 is a hepatocyte nuclear factor (specifically, HNF-3b) that is a transcriptional activator for liver-specific genes such as albumin. During embryonic development, FOXA2 expression is a marker for cells of the definitive (but not primitive) endoderm lineage.
