Background

PDX-1 (Pancreas-duodenum homeobox 1; also IPF-1, IDX-1, STF-1, GSF and IUF-1) is a 42 kDa member of the IPF-1 subfamily, ANTP homeobox family of proteins. It is expressed in developing pancreas, plus pancreatic beta -cells, and duodenal crypt epithelium. In concert with HNF6, PDX-1 drives pancreatic endocrine cell formation by regulating the expression of neurogenin-3. In adult beta -cells, PDX-1 binds to PCIF-1 to regulate insulin production. Mouse PDX-1 is 284 amino acids (aa) in length (Accession # P52946). It contains one transactivation domain (aa 13‑73) a PBX1 P-P-M-W-K dimerization motif (aa 119‑124), and a DNA-binding homeodomain with an embedded NLS (aa 148‑206). Full-length mouse PDX-1 shares 94% and 88% aa identity with rat and human PDX-1, respectively.
