Gene information for PTF1A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID256297
Official gene symbolPTF1A
Full namepancreas specific transcription factor, 1a
Aliases,PTF1-p48,bHLHa29,
Gene summaryThis 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]
