LIM homeobox transcription factor 1-alpha, LIM/homeobox protein 11, LMX-11, LIM/homeobox protein LMX1A, Lmx1a
Product description
Insulin is produced exclusively by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. The level and beta-cell specificity of insulin gene expression are regulated by a set of nuclear genes that bind to specific sequences within the promoter of the insulin gene (INS; MIM 176730) and interact with RNA polymerase to activate or repress transcription. LMX1 is a homeodomain protein that binds an A/T-rich sequence in the insulin promoter and stimulates transcription of insulin.1) Mangale,V.S., Science 319 (5861), 304-309 (2008)
