Involved in the establishment of the body plan via the Spemann organizer during gastrulation. Transcriptional activator required to induce organizer gene expression downstream of siamois. Promotes head formation by binding to 5'-TAAT'-3' elements in the promoters of head organizer genes cer1 and gsc to stimulate expression. Binds as a complex with siamois and mix-A/mix.1 to the cer1 promoter, and with ldb1 and otx2 to the gsc promoter. Also involved in neural induction via the organizer, including a role in notochord formation. Acts synergistically with ldb1 and ssbp in subsequent axis formation. Involved in kidney development, acting synergistically with pax8 to establish the pronephric primordium in late gastrulae/early neurulae and with pax2 during pronephric morphogenesis in tailbud stages. Has a later role in mediating the activity of inhibitors of ventralization.13 Publications

Exhibits a biphasic expression pattern. Initially localized to the Spemann organizer region of gastrulae, leading to expression in prechordal mesoderm and notochord. In the second phase, expressed in the lateral mesoderm and neural plate, eventually concentrating in the pronephros and the CNS. Expressed in the pronephros primordium by late gastrula (stage 12.5) and becomes restricted to the tips of the tubules and ducts as kidney development progresses. In the CNS, becomes progressively recognizable in anatomically distinct structures during larval development. Within the forebrain, shows almost identical expression to lhx5 in the diencephalon, being expressed in alternating stripes to lhx2 and lhx9. Expressed in the diencephalic pretectum within prosomere 1, hypothalamus, ventral thalamus and zona limitans intrathalamica. In the telencephalon, the expression pattern is distinct from lhx5, being localized in the pallium and subpallium. Also expressed in the ventral territories of midbrain (mesencephalon) and hindbrain (rhombencephalon), being expressed in the mesencephalic tegmentum and hindbrain reticular formation. Also shows intense expression in the cerebellum including Purkinje cells.10 Publications

Interacts with ldb1 via the tandem LIM domains. Both LIM domains are required for optimal binding and binding relieves the inhibitory effect of the LIM domains and activates lhx1. Binding to ldb1 also prevents degradation of ldb1 by rnf12. The stoichiometry of lhx1 and ldb1 is important for their function and an excess of ldb1 can inhibit lhx1 function.

Interacts with the N-terminal region of rnf12 by a homeobox-dependent mechanism.

The LIM domains exert a negative regulatory function and disruption of the LIM domains produces an activated form. In addition, two activation domains and a negative regulatory domain exist C-terminally to the homeobox.2 Publications

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence.
