Gene information for LHX9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID56956
Official gene symbolLHX9
Full nameLIM homeobox 9
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the LIM homeobox gene family of developmentally expressed transcription factors. The encoded protein contains a homeodomain and two cysteine-rich zinc-binding LIM domains involved in protein-protein interactions. The protein is highly similar to a mouse protein that causes gonadal agenesis when inactivated, suggesting a role in gonadal development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
