High impact information on Pitx1

 

Regulatory relationships of Pitx1

  • In transient transfection experiments, Msx-1 potently inhibited pituitary homeobox-1 (Pitx-1)-induced MT(1) promoter activity and therefore may represent a key inhibitor of MT(1) expression in early pituitary development [4].
 

Other interactions of Pitx1

  • In contrast, functional interaction between Pitx1 and Egr-1 persisted with mutation of both Pitx1 regions [3].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Pitx1
