Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of fatty acid metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in hypodermis; intestine; muscle cell; and neurons. Used to study alcohol use disorder and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fanconi renotubular syndrome 4; familial combined hyperlipidemia; hypoglycemia; maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 1; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human HNF4A (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

NHR-49 and MDT-15 enhance expression of skn-1a/c These findings identify a novel role for NHR-49 in ROS detoxification by regulating expression of SKN-1C and phase II detoxification genes.
Title: The Caenorhabditis elegans Oxidative Stress Response Requires the NHR-49 Transcription Factor.
Reduced signaling through the insulin-like receptor daf-2/InsR in the maternal soma causes constitutively large progeny, and its effector daf-16/FoxO is required for this effect. nhr-49/Hnf4, pha-4/FoxA, and skn-1/Nrf also regulate progeny-size plasticity. Genetic analysis suggests that insulin-like signaling controls progeny size in part through regulation of nhr-49/Hnf4, and that pha-4/FoxA and skn-1/Nrf function
