High impact information on PTF1A

  • Reporter-gene studies using a minimal PTF1A deletion mutant indicate that the deleted region defines a new domain that is crucial for the function of this protein [1].
  • PTF1A is known to have a role in mammalian pancreatic development, and the clinical phenotype of the affected individuals implicated the protein as a key regulator of cerebellar neurogenesis [1].
  • The role of PTF1-P48 in pancreatic acinar gene expression [2].
