PDX-1 (E-8) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody. Pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 protein (PDX-1), also designated insulin promoter factor (IPF1), insulin upstream factor 1 (IUF1), somatostatin trans-activating factor-1 (STF-1) and glucose-sensitive factor (GSF), is a 282 amino acid homeodomain-containing transcription factor present in pancreatic beta-cells. PDX-1 is a key regulator of pancreatic islet development and insulin gene transcription in beta-cells. PDX-1 is expressed in all cells at early stages of development and is mainly restricted to pancreas and duodenum in adult. HNF-3b, HNF-1a and SP1 positively regulate PDX-1 enhancer element. PDX-1 is also regulated by glucagon-like peptide through activation of adenylyl cyclase, which results in an increase in intracellular cAMP activity. Increased levels of cAMP, and resulting activation of PKA, lead to an increase in PDX-1 transcription and translocation to beta-cell nuclei. PDX-1 binds to sequence C(C/T) and can heterodimerize with PBX. PDX-1 is phosphorylated by SAPK2 pathway under high glucose concentrations. Mutations in PDX-1 gene can cause maturity-onset diabetes of young and pancreatic agenesis. PDX-1 gene maps to human chromosome 13q12.1.
