General description

LIM homeobox transcription factor 1-alpha (UniProt: Q04650; also known as LIM/homeobox protein LMX1A (LIM/homeobox protein 1; LMX-1)) is encoded by the LMX1A (also known as LMX1) gene (Gene ID: 101839559) in golden hamster. LMX-1 is a transcription factor that belongs to the LIM-homeodomain (LIM-HD) transcription factor family. It is induced within the ventral midbrain as a response to early signaling. LMX-1 is a necessary component for the development of the roof plate and for CNS dorsal cell date specification and the development of vertebrae. It is expressed in roof plate, an organizational locus found in the dorsal CNS that functions to moderate the differentiation and specification of adjacent neurons through the secretion of signaling molecules such as WNT and BMP. Recent studies have indicated that LMX-1 has high potential for stimulating the production of mesencephalic dopamine neurons (mesDA) for the therapeutic treatment of Parkinson disease, a condition characterized by dopaminergic neurotransmission decline resulting from the progression of mesDA neuronal degeneration within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN).

Specificity

Anti-LMX-1 is a rabbit polyclonal antibody that detects LMX-1. It targets an epitope within 80 amino acids from the C-terminal half.

LIM-domain containing transcription factors (LIM-TFs) are conserved factors important for embryogenesis. The specificity of these factors in transcriptional regulation is conferred by the complexes that they form with other proteins such as LIM-domain-binding (Ldb) proteins and LIM-domain only (LMO) proteins.

Single-cell RNA sequencing allows defining molecularly distinct cell subpopulations. However, the identification of specific sets of transcription factors (TFs) that define the identity of these subpopulations remains a challenge. Here we propose that subpopulation identity emerges from the synergistic activity

FOXC1 loss contributes to Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM), a common human cerebellar malformation. Previously, we found that complete Foxc1 loss leads to aberrations in proliferation, neuronal differentiation and migration in the embryonic mouse cerebellum (Haldipur et al., 2014). We now demonstrate
