Pitx1

Gene
Pitx1
Protein
Pituitary homeobox 1
Organism
Rattus norvegicus
Length
315 amino acids
Function
Sequence-specific transcription factor that binds gene promoters and activates their transcription. 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.

Organism

Length
315 amino acids
Function
Sequence-specific transcription factor that binds gene promoters and activates their transcription. 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. Can independently activate and synergize with PIT-1 on pituitary-specific target gene promoters, thus may subserve functions in generating both precursor and specific cell phenotypes in the anterior pituitary gland and in several other organs. Can activate pituitary transcription of the proopiomelanocortin gene.
Similarity
Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Bicoid subfamily.

Length
311 amino acids
Function
Sequence-specific transcription factor that binds gene promoters and activates their transcription. 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. Acts as a transcriptional activator by binding to promoter sequences with a TAAT/GCC core motif.
