LIM homeobox 1 also known as LHX1 is a gene.This gene encodes a member of a large protein family which contains the LIM domain a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein may function as a transcriptional regulator and be involved in control of differentiation and development of neural and lymphoid cells. A similar protein in mice is an essential regulator of the vertebrate head organizer.The Lim gene family is a subfamily of homeobox genes.
