PROP paired-like homeobox 1

The PROP1 gene provides instructions for making a transcription factor, which is a protein that controls the activity of many other genes. The PROP1 protein is found only in the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland produces and releases hormones that are needed for growth, development, and other critical body functions. The PROP1 protein helps cell types specialize (differentiate) within the pituitary gland.
