General description
LIM homeobox transcription factor 1-alpha (UniProt: Q04650; also known as LIM/homeobox protein LMX1A (LIM/homeobox protein 1; LMX-1)) is encoded by the LMX1A (also known as LMX1) gene (Gene ID: 101839559) in golden hamster. LMX-1 is a transcription factor that belongs to the LIM-homeodomain (LIM-HD) transcription factor family. It is induced within the ventral midbrain as a response to early signaling. LMX-1 is a necessary component for the development of the roof plate and for CNS dorsal cell date specification and the development of vertebrae. It is expressed in roof plate, an organizational locus found in the dorsal CNS that functions to moderate the differentiation and specification of adjacent neurons through the secretion of signaling molecules such as WNT and BMP. Recent studies have indicated that LMX-1 has high potential for stimulating the production of mesencephalic dopamine neurons (mesDA) for the therapeutic treatment of Parkinson disease, a condition characterized by dopaminergic neurotransmission decline resulting from the progression of mesDA neuronal degeneration within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN).
Target molecular weight ~38 kDa observed. 42.8 kDa calculated. Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysate(s).
