PITX1, BFT, PTX1, Pituitary homeobox 1, Hindlimb-expressed homeobox protein backfoot, Homeobox protein PITX1, Paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 1
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],function:May play a role in the development of anterior structures, and in particular, the brain and facies and in specifying the identity or structure of hindlimb.,similarity:Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Bicoid subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 1 OAR domain.,
