Official Full Name
prolactin regulatory element binding
Background
This gene encodes a protein that specifically binds to a Pit1-binding element of the prolactin (PRL) promoter. This protein may act as a transcriptional regulator and is thought to be involved in some of the developmental abnormalities observed in patients with partial trisomy 2p. This gene overlaps the abhydrolase domain containing 1 (ABHD1) gene on the opposite strand.
Synonyms
PREB; prolactin regulatory element binding; prolactin regulatory element-binding protein; mammalian guanine nucleotide exchange factor mSec12; C85705
