About LHX8

Cytogenetic location: 1p31.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:75,128,434-75,199,454 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 268 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the LIM homeobox family of proteins, which are involved in patterning and differentiation of various tissue types. These proteins contain two tandemly repeated cysteine-rich double-zinc finger motifs known as LIM domains, in addition to a DNA-binding homeodomain. This family member is a transcription factor that plays a role in tooth morphogenesis. It is also involved in oogenesis and in neuronal differentiation. This gene is a candidate gene for cleft palate, and it is also associated with odontoma formation. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
