Target description

LIM homeobox transcription factor 1-alpha (UniProt: Q04650; also known as LIM/homeobox protein LMX1A, LIM/homeobox protein 1, LMX-1, LMX1A) is encoded by the LMX1A (also known as LMX1) gene (Gene ID: 101839559) in hamster. LMX1A is a member of the group of LIM-homeobox-containing genes that encode LIM-homeodomain (LIM-HD) protein. LMX-1 is a transcription factor, is expressed in the dorsal mesenchyme and acts by binding to an A/T-rich sequence. It is induced within the ventral midbrain as a response to early signaling It is required for development of the roof plate and for specification of dorsal cell fates in the CNS and developing vertebrae. LMX-1 is reported to play a significant role in of mesencephalic dopamine neurons (mesDA) differentiation of human embryonic stem cells. It has high potential for stimulating the production mesDA that may have applications in the treatment Parkinson disease. Overexpression of LMX-1 is reported to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. It is shown to be inactivated in gastric cancers. Its tumor growth inhibition is suggested to be due to its inhibitory effect on c-Myc expression. Serum levels of LMX-1 have been used as an effective biomarker for early detection of gastric cancers. Hamster LMX-1 contains two zinc binding domains (aa 33-92 and 93-154). Its DNA binding domain is localized to amino acids 195-254. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
