Gene information for LMX1B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4010
Official gene symbolLMX1B
Full nameLIM homeobox transcription factor 1, beta
Aliases,LMX1.2,MGC138325,MGC142051,NPS1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of LIM-homeodomain family of proteins containing two N-terminal zinc-binding LIM domains, 1 homeodomain, and a C-terminal glutamine-rich domain. It functions as a transcription factor, and is essential for the normal development of dorsal limb structures, the glomerular basement membrane, the anterior segment of the eye, and dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with nail-patella syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
