Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 4009
Gene name LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 alpha
Gene symbol LMX1A
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DFNA7LMX1LMX1.1
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q23.3
Summary This gene encodes a homeodomain and LIM-domain containing protein. The encoded protein is a transcription factor that acts as a positive regulator of insulin gene transcription. This gene also plays a role in the development of dopamine producing neurons

Protein name LIM homeobox transcription factor 1-alpha (LIM/homeobox protein 1.1) (LMX-1.1) (LIM/homeobox protein LMX1A)
Protein function Acts as a transcriptional activator by binding to an A/T-rich sequence, the FLAT element, in the insulin gene promoter. Required for development of the roof plate and, in turn, for specification of dorsal cell fates in the CNS and developing ver
