Lhx1 - LIM homeobox protein 1

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; generation of neurons; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; gastrulation; and regionalization. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesoderm; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LHX1 (LIM homeobox 1).
