Pitx3 - paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 3 Gene
Also Known as ak; Ptx3; aphakia
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in dopaminergic neuron differentiation; lens development in camera-type eye; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within locomotory behavior; nervous system development; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and musculoskeletal system. Used to study Parkinson's disease and anterior segment dysgenesis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anterior segment dysgenesis; anterior segment dysgenesis 1; cataract; cataract 11 multiple types; and cataract 9 multiple types. Orthologous to human PITX3 (paired like homeodomain 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
