paired-like homeodomain 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PITX1 gene.[3][4][5]

Function[edit]

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.[5]

Clinical relevance[edit]

Mutations in this gene have been associated with autism[6] and polydactyly[7] in humans.

Genomic rearrangements at the PITX1 locus are associated with Liebenberg syndrome

Interactions[edit]

PITX1 has been shown to interact with Pituitary-specific positive transcription factor 1.[8]
