Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including kidney development; nervous system development; and reproductive structure development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cerebellar Purkinje cell differentiation; gastrulation; and regionalization. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesoderm; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LHX1 (LIM homeobox 1).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
