HNF4A is expressed in proximal tubules of developing nephrons and is required for formation of proximal tubules (inferred from mouse embryos). In the distal region of comma-shaped bodies and the proximal region of S-shaped bodies, HNF1B binds the promoter of the HNF4A gene and activates expression of HNF4A (inferred from mouse homologs). HNF4A in turn activates expression of a large number of genes encoding metabolic enzymes, transporters, and E-cadherin (CDH1), which is involved in epithelialization (inferred from mouse homologs).
