Gene information for PDLIM5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10611
Official gene symbolPDLIM5
Full namePDZ and LIM domain 5
Aliases,ENH,ENH1,L9,LIM,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a LIM domain protein. LIM domains are cysteine-rich double zinc fingers composed of 50 to 60 amino acids that are involved in protein-protein interactions. LIM domain-containing proteins are scaffolds for the formation of multiprotein complexes. The proteins are involved in cytoskeleton organization, cell lineage specification, organ development, and oncogenesis. The encoded protein is also a member of the Enigma class of proteins, a family of proteins that possess a 100-amino acid PDZ domain in the N terminus and 1 to 3 LIM domains in the C terminus. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, although not all of them have been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
