PITX1 paired like homeodomain 1

Gene ID: 5307, updated on 20-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BFT; CCF; POTX; PTX1; LBNBG

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family, which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins. Members of this family are involved in organ development and left-right asymmetry. This protein acts as a transcriptional regulator involved in basal and hormone-regulated activity of prolactin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
