About Lhx3

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; placenta development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study hypopituitarism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in panhypopituitarism. Orthologous to human LHX3 (LIM homeobox 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
