Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in neuron development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and thermosensory behavior. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anal region; gonad; hypodermis; neurons; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in panhypopituitarism. Orthologous to several human genes including LHX3 (LIM homeobox 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Co-expression of the transcription factors CEH-14 and TTX-1 regulates AFD neuron-specific genes gcy-8 and gcy-18, and determines the fate of AFD neurons as terminal selector genes at the final step of cell specification.

loss of a LIM domain in the ceh-14(ch2) allele causes a partial loss-of-function phenotype
Title: The LIM homeobox gene ceh-14 is required for phasmid function and neurite outgrowth.
Results indicate that MAB-18 and CEH-14 interact to repress col-43 expression in sth-1-expressing tissues.
Title: The homeoproteins MAB-18 and CEH-14 insulate the dauer collagen gene col-43 from activation by the adjacent promoter of the Spermatheca gene sth-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans.
