About Pitx2

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; chromatin DNA binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in animal organ development and left/right axis specification. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; circulatory system development; and embryonic hindlimb morphogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and musculature. Used to study Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome type 1 and glaucoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Arts syndrome; Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome; Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome type 1; anterior segment dysgenesis 4; and ring dermoid of cornea. Orthologous to human PITX2 (paired like homeodomain 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
