Entrez Gene summary for LHX6 Gene:

This gene encodes a member of a large protein family that contains the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich

zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein may function as a transcriptional regulator and may be involved in the

control of differentiation and development of neural and lymphoid cells. Two alternatively spliced transcript

variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described for this gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants

have been identified, but their biological validity has not been determined. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for LHX6 Gene:

LHX6 (LIM homeobox 6) is a protein-coding gene. GO annotations related to this gene include sequence-specific DNA binding and sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. An important paralog of this gene is ISL1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: LHX6_HUMAN, Q9UPM6

Function: Probable transcription factor required for the expression of a subset of genes involved in interneurons

migration and development. Functions in the specification of cortical interneuron subtypes and in the migration

of GABAergic interneuron precursors from the subpallium to the cerebral cortex (By similarity)
