Gene information for LMO2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4005
Official gene symbolLMO2
Full nameLIM domain only 2 (rhombotin-like 1)
Aliases,RBTN2,RBTNL1,RHOM2,TTG2,
Gene summaryLMO2 encodes a cysteine-rich, two LIM-domain protein that is required for yolk sac erythropoiesis. The LMO2 protein has a central and crucial role in hematopoietic development and is highly conserved. The LMO2 transcription start site is located approximately 25 kb downstream from the 11p13 T-cell translocation cluster (11p13 ttc), where a number T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-specific translocations occur. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
