LIM Homeobox Protein-1 Definition

Encoded by conserved human LHX1 Gene (LIM/Homeobox Family) and expressed in brain, thymus, and tonsil, 384-404-amino acid 44.5-kD nuclear LIM Homeobox Protein 1 is a putative transcriptional regulatory protein containing two CYS-rich zinc ion-binding LIM domains and a DNA-binding homeobox domain. LIM1 may regulate the head organizer and control differentiation and development of neural and lymphoid cells. LIM1 and LMX1B appear to control lateral column motor axon dorsal/ventral trajectory in the developing limb. (from LocusLink, Swiss-Prot, OMIM, and NCI)
