paired-like homeodomain 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PITX1 gene.This gene encodes a member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family which is in the bicoid class of homeodomain proteins. According to an October 2008 press release by the Washington University School of Medicine the gene is the first gene thought to be involved with clubfoot. Members of this family are involved in organ development and left-right asymmetry.
