WormBase ID: WBGene00000438 WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human LHX3 (LIM homeobox 3) and LHX4 (LIM homeobox 4). Exhibits RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Is involved in neuron development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and thermosensory behavior. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including hypodermal cell; neurons; somatic nervous system; spermatheca; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including congenital ptosis; myopathy (multiple); and nail-patella syndrome. |
