Transcription factor 2 (TCF-2) , also hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF-1B) or variant hepatic nuclear factor (vHNF) , is a transcription factor in chordates . In humans, TCF-2 is expressed in many tissue types, but particularly in the kidneys , pancreas , liver and Müller's duct . TCF-2 contains a homeobox motif and plays a central role in the development of kidney and liver cells. Mutations in HNF1B - gene can be rare hereditary MODY5 , Mullerian aplasia , NIDDM for or increased risk of prostate cancer cause.

In addition to its role in the development of the kidneys, TCF-2 has tasks in the adult kidney: Expression of the ATPase subunit FXYD2 is dependent on the presence of TCF-2, and defects in TCF-2 can show the phenotype of hypomagnesaemia and corresponding hypermagnesuria . In ADPKD- cystic kidney the expression of TCF-2 is down-regulated in the same way as with cisplatin or gentamicin poisoned kidneys. The expression of the kinesin-like protein 12 (Kif12) is also dependent on functional TCF-2. Kif12 plays a role in maintaining cell polarity .

TCF-2 is upregulated in certain pancreatic tumors and in ovarian carcinomas that are insensitive to cisplatin and paclitaxel ; it is therefore a possible diagnostic and therapeutic target .
