During development, genetically distinct subtypes of motor neurons express unique combinations of LIM-type homeodomain factors, which regulate cell migration and guide motor axons to establish the fidelity of a binary choice in axonal trajectory. The LIM gene family encodes a set of proteins which carry the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding motif. LHX6 (LIM homeobox 6), also known as LHX6.1, is a 363 amino acid nuclear protein that contains two LIM zinc-binding domains and one homeobox DNA-binding domain. Expressed specifically in brain, LHX6 is thought to function as a transcriptional regulator that may play a role in the development and differentiation of lymphoid and neural cells. Additionally, LHX6 is hypermethylated in head and neck carcinomas and may be a novel tumor marker. Two isoforms of LHX6, designated LHX6.1A and LHX6.1B, exist due to alternative splicing events.
