PITX2 encodes a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family, which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins. This protein acts as a transcription factor and regulates procollagen lysyl hydroxylase gene expression. Mutations in this gene are associated with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS), iridogoniodysgenesis syndrome (IGDS), and sporadic cases of Peters anomaly. This protein plays a role in the terminal differentiation of somatotroph and lactotroph cell phenotypes. This protein is involved in the development of the eye, tooth and abdominal organs. This protein acts as a transcriptional regulator involved in basal and hormone-regulated activity of prolactin. A similar protein in other vertebrates is involved in the determination of left-right asymmetry during development.

Mouse Pituitary homeobox 2 (PITX2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PITX2 in samples. An antibody specific for PITX2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPITX2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PITX2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PITX2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
