LIM domains are protein structural domains composed of two contiguous zinc finger domains separated by a two-amino acid residue hydrophobic linker. They are named after their initial discovery in the proteins Lin11 Isl-1 & Mec-3. LIM-domain containing proteins have been shown to play roles in cytoskeletal organisation organ development and oncogenesis. LIM-domains mediate protein:protein interactions that are critical to cellular processes.
