Entrez Gene summary for LHX8 Gene:

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.

(provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012)

GeneCards Summary for LHX8 Gene:

LHX8 (LIM homeobox 8) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with LHX8 include odontoma, and cleft palate. 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.
