General description

PTF1A is a part of the pancreas transcription factor 1 complex that regulates the expression of exocrine pancreas-specific genes. Ptf1a is required for GABAergic neuronal cell fates during spinal cord development. Furthermore, Ptf1a provides a link between the development of inhibitory and excitatory interneurons. Mutations in PTF1A have been associated with diabetes mellitus and cerebellar agenesis.Rabbit Anti-PTF1A antibody recognizes canine, human, mouse, rat, and zebrafish PTF1A.
