BioCap^TM PDX1 mRNA

GENE NAME (BOLD) / SYNONYMS:

PDX1 / IPF1 STF1

SPECIES:

Human

ENCODED PROTEIN NAME:

Pancreas/duodenum homeobox protein 1

Function:

Activates insulin, somatostatin, glucokinase, islet amyloid polypeptide and glucose transporter type 2 gene transcription. Particularly involved in glucose-dependent regulation of insulin gene transcription. As part of a PDX1:PBX1b:MEIS2b complex in pancreatic acinar cells is involved in the transcriptional activation of the ELA1 enhancer; the complex binds to the enhancer B element and cooperates with the transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) bound to the enhancer A element. Binds preferentially the DNA motif 5'-[CT]TAAT[TG]-3'. During development, specifies the early pancreatic epithelium, permitting its proliferation, branching and subsequent differentiation. At adult stage, required for maintaining the hormone-producing phenotype of the beta-cell. (Source: UniProt http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/p52945)
