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.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human PTF1A
Application
Rabbit Anti-PTF1A antibody can be used for western blot application at a concentration of 2.5μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
PTF1A is a pancreas specific transcription factor. Mammalian studies have implicated important roles for the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor PTF1A-p48 in the development of both exocrine and endocrine pancreas.

Mutations in the human and mouse PTF1A/Ptf1a genes result in permanent diabetes mellitus and cerebellar agenesis. We show that Ptf1a is present in precursors to GABAergic neurons in spinal cord dorsal horn as well as the cerebellum. A null mutation
