Target Description: The PITX2 gene encodes 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. Mutations in PITX2 are associated with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS), iridogoniodysgenesis syndrome (IGDS), and sporadic cases of Peters anomaly. This protein is involved in the development of the eye, tooth and abdominal organs. It also acts as a transcriptional regulator involved in basal and hormone-regulated activity of prolactin. This gene encodes a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family, which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins. The encoded protein acts as a transcription factor and regulates procollagen lysyl hydroxylase gene expression. This protein 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 gene 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.

Uniprot Description
PITX2: Controls cell proliferation in a tissue-specific manner and is involved in morphogenesis. During embryonic development, exerts a role in the expansion of muscle progenitors. May play a role in the proper localization of asymmetric organs such as the heart and stomach. Isoform PTX2C is involved in left-right asymmetry the developing embryo. Defects in PITX2 are the cause of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome type 1 (RIEG1); also known as Rieger syndrome type 1. RIEG1 is an autosomal dominant defect characterized by hypodontia (partial anodontia), anal stenosis, hypertelorism, mental deficiency, agenesis of the facial bones, with malformation of the anterior chamber of the eye. Defects in PITX2 are the cause of iridogoniodysgenesis type 2 (IRID2); also known as iridogoniodysgenesis syndrome 2 (IGDS2). It is an autosomal dominant inherited disease. Defects in PITX2 are a cause of Peters anomaly (PAN). It is a congenital defect of the anterior chamber of the eye. Defects in PITX2 are associated with ring dermoid of cornea (RDC). RDC is an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome characterized by bilateral annular limbal dermoids with corneal and conjunctival extension. Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Bicoid subfamily. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
