LIMS2 - LIM zinc finger domain containing 2 Gene
Also Known as LGMD2W; PINCH2; MDRCMTT; PINCH-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About LIMS2
This gene has 18 transcripts (splice variants), 277 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in endometrium (RPKM 24.9), fat (RPKM 20.9) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of a small family of focal adhesion proteins which interacts with ILK (integrin-linked kinase), a protein which effects protein-protein interactions with the extraceullar matrix. The encoded protein has five LIM domains, each domain forming two zinc fingers, which permit interactions which regulate cell shape and migration. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 4. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
