Pancreas transcription factor 1 subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTF1A gene.[1][2]

This gene encodes a protein that is a component of the pancreas transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) and is known to have a role in mammalian pancreatic development. The protein plays a role in determining whether cells allocated to the pancreatic buds continue towards pancreatic organogenesis or revert back to duodenal fates. The protein is thought to be involved in the maintenance of exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression including elastase 1 and amylase. Mutations in this gene cause cerebellar agenesis and loss of expression is seen in ductal type pancreas cancers.[2]

Body Of You

by: Arid

Baby , no matter what love's got
to offer
I throw myself down
I'mat your feet
I taste your lips
Of soft deceit
As my retreat
Baby no matter what they say
about us
I long to go down your river wild
You're God's only child you see
The death of me
The body of you
Broken and still
I'll never know
How good it feels to finally forget you
And all that you are
I'll never know why
Our love has been scarred
Baby no matter what love's got
to offer
I'll throwmyself down
I'm at your feet
I taste your lips
Of soft deceit
As my retreat
The body of you
Broken and still
I'll never know
How good it feels to finally forget
And akll that you are
I'll never know why
Our love has been scarred
Baby no matter what they say
about us
I long to god down your river wild
Your God's only child you see
The death of me
Baby no matter what love's got to
offer
I know that it's lost and almost gone
