Also known as LMX1.1
Summary
LMX1A (LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 alpha, HGNC:6653) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q23.3, encoding LIM homeobox transcription factor 1-alpha (Q8TE12). Acts as a transcriptional activator by binding to an A/T-rich sequence, the FLAT element, in the insulin gene promoter.
This gene encodes a homeodomain and LIM-domain containing protein. The encoded protein is a transcription factor that acts as a positive regulator of insulin gene transcription. This gene also plays a role in the development of dopamine producing neurons during embryogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Acts as a transcriptional activator by binding to an A/T-rich sequence, the FLAT element, in the insulin gene promoter. Required for development of the roof plate and, in turn, for specification of dorsal cell fates in the CNS and developing vertebrae.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Isoform 1 is expressed in many tissues. Not found in heart, liver, spleen and testis. Relatively highly expressed in fetal brain. Isoform LMX1A-4AB is expressed in testis.
Disease relevance. Deafness, autosomal dominant, 7 (DFNA7) [MIM:601412] A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. DFNA7 is a progressive form with highly variable age at onset and severity, even within families. The age at onset ranges from congenital to mid-adulthood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
