Gene information for LHX3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8022
Official gene symbolLHX3
Full nameLIM homeobox 3
Aliases,CPHD3,DKFZp762A2013,LIM3,M2-LHX3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member a large protein family which carry the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor that is required for pituitary development and motor neuron specification. Mutations in this gene cause combined pituitary hormone deficiency 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
