A family of transcription factors, first identified as hepatocyte nuclear factors (HNF-3 alpha,-3
beta, and-3 gamma) and as a homeotic Drosophila mutant, fork head, has been intensively
studied for the past 4 years. Important findings have emerged about the structure of the DNA-
binding portion of the proteins as well as biologic discoveries about the diversity of the family
and its implied role in early development.
