Official Full Name: LIM homeobox 9
This gene encodes a member of the LIM homeobox gene family of developmentally expressed transcription factors. The encoded protein contains a homology domain and two cysteine-rich zinc-binding LIM domains involved in protein-protein interactions. The protein is highly similar to a mouse protein that, when inactivated, leads to gonad development, suggesting a role in gonad development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
