Lhx8 - LIM homeobox protein 8

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within animal organ development and learning or memory. Located in female germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human LHX8 (LIM homeobox 8).
