Gene: POU1F1

Alternate names for this Gene: CPHD1|GHF-1|PIT1|POU1F1a|Pit-1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the POU family of transcription factors that regulate mammalian development. The protein regulates expression of several genes involved in pituitary development and hormone expression. Mutations in this genes result in combined pituitary hormone deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p11.2

Description of this Gene: POU class 1 homeobox 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
