Harmonizome 3.0

pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional activator of several genes, including insulin, somatostatin, glucokinase, islet amyloid polypeptide, and glucose transporter type 2. The encoded nuclear protein is involved in the early development of the pancreas and plays a major role in glucose-dependent regulation of insulin gene expression. Defects in this gene are a cause of pancreatic agenesis, which can lead to early-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), as well as maturity onset diabetes of the young type 4 (MODY4).

PDX1 antisense RNA 1

PDX1 C-terminal inhibiting factor 1

Enables RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain phosphoserine binding activity; S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding activity; and mRNA (2'-O-methyladenosine-N6-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in mRNA processing; negative regulation of translation; and positive regulation of translation. Located in intercellular bridge; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleoplasm.
