POU1F1 POU class 1 homeobox 1

Gene ID: 5449, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PIT1; CPHD1; GHF-1; Pit-1; POU1F1a

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the POU family of transcription factors that regulate mammalian development. The protein regulates expression of several genes involved in pituitary development and hormone expression. Mutations in this genes result in combined pituitary hormone deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
