Lhx4 - LIM homeobox 4 Gene

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and methyl-CpG binding activity. Predicted to be involved in neuron differentiation and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; neuron differentiation; and placenta development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in panhypopituitarism. Orthologous to human LHX4 (LIM homeobox 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
