ID:PROP1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Homeobox protein prophet of Pit-1; Short=PROP-1; AltName: Full=Pituitary-specific homeodomain factor; FUNCTION: Possibly involved in the ontogenesis of pituitary gonadotropes, as well as somatotropes, lactotropes and caudomedial thyrotropes. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed specifically in embryonic pituitary. DISEASE: Defects in PROP1 are the cause of pituitary hormone deficiency combined type 2 (CPHD2) [MIM:262600]; also known as pituitary dwarfism III. It is characterized by impaired production of growth hormone (GH) and one or more of the other five anterior pituitary hormones. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the paired homeobox family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain. WEB RESOURCE: Name=GeneReviews; URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/GeneTests/lab/gene/PROP1";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
