Target Information
| Target Symbol | PDX1 |
|---|---|
| Target Name | Pyruvate dehydrogenase protein X component, mitochondrial |
| UniProt ID | P52945 |
| Function | Activates insulin, somatostatin, glucokinase, islet amyloid polypeptide and glucose transporter type 2 gene transcription. Particularly involved in glucose-dependent regulation of insulin gene transcription. Binds preferentially the DNA motif 5'-[CT]TAAT[TG]-3'. During development, specifies the early pancreatic epithelium, permitting its proliferation, branching and subsequent differentiation. At adult stage, required for maintaining the hormone-producing phenotype of the beta-cell. |
| Involvement in Disease | Defects in PDX1 are a cause of pancreatic agenesis (PAC). This autosomal recessive disorder is characterized by absence or hypoplasia of pancreas, leading to early-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. This was found in a frameshift mutation that produces a truncated protein and results in a second initiation that produces a second protein that act as a dominant negative mutant.Defects in PDX1 are a cause of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM); also known as diabetes mellitus type 2. NIDDM is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset during adulthood and insulin resistance.Defects in PDX1 are the cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 4 (MODY4); also symbolized MODY-4. MODY is a form of diabetes that is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset in childhood or early adulthood (usually before 25 years of age), a primary defect in insulin secretion and frequent insulin-independence at the beginning of the disease. |
