Also Known as p48; PACA; PAGEN2; bHLHa29; PTF1-p48
Species: Homo sapiens
About PTF1A
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 184 orthologues, 13 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Biased expression in pancreas (RPKM 4.5), testis (RPKM 0.5) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that is a component of the pancreas transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) and is known to have a role in mammalian pancreatic development. The protein plays a role in determining whether cells allocated to the pancreatic buds continue towards pancreatic organogenesis or revert back to duodenal fates. The protein is thought to be involved in the maintenance of exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression including Elastase 1 and amylase. Mutations in this gene cause cerebellar agenesis and loss of expression is seen in ductal type pancreas cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
