LMX1B

LIM homeobox transcription factor 1-beta ;
LIM/homeobox protein 1.2 ;
LMX-1.2 ;
LIM/homeobox protein LMX1B ;

disease:Defects in LMX1B are the cause of nail-patella syndrome (NPS) [MIM:161200]; also knowan as Onychoosteodysplasia. NPS is a disease that cause abnormal skeletal patterning and renal dysplasia.,function:Essential for the specification of dorsal limb fate at both the zeugopodal and autopodal levels.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 1 LIM zinc-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 2 LIM zinc-binding domains.,tissue specificity:Expressed in most tissues. Highest levels in testis, thyroid, duodenum, skeletal muscle, and pancreatic islets.,
