Mouse Anti-PITX2 (Pituitary Homeobox 2, Paired-like Homeodomain Transcription Factor 2, Homeobox Protein PITX2, RIEG Bicoid-related Homeobox Transcription Factor, Solurshin, ALL1-responsive Protein ARP1, PITX2, ARP1, RGS, RIEG, RIEG1) (Biotin)

Pilx2 is a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family, which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins. This protein acts as a transcription factor and regulates procollagen lysyl hydroxylase gene expression. It plays a role in the terminal differentiation of somatotroph and lactotroph cell phenotypes, is involved in the development of the eye, tooth and abdominal organs, and acts as a transcriptional regulator involved in basal and hormone-regulated activity of prolactin. Mutations in this protein are associated with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, iridogoniodysgenesis syndrome, and sporadic cases of Peters anomaly. A similar protein in other vertebrates is involved in the determination of left-right asymmetry during development.
