Gene: PITX1

Alternate names for this Gene: BFT|CCF|LBNBG|POTX|PTX1

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q31.1

Description of this Gene: paired like homeodomain 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
