Background

LHX5 (LIM/homeobox protein 5) is a member of the LIM homeobox gene family. It is expressed in embryonic CNS, and appears to contribute to the formation and maintenance of multiple neuronal phenotypes. In the cerebellum, LHX5 promotes Purkinje cell development; in the spinal cord, LHX5 maintains a GABAergic phenotype in select dorsal horn interneurons. LHX5 is reported to act as a Wnt pathway antagonist through its stimulation of sFRP-1 and -5 secretion. Human LHX5 is 402 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains two LIM Zn-binding domains (aa 3-61 and 62-125), one phosphorylation site at Tyr119, and a DNA-binding homeodomain (aa 180‑239). Over aa 265-402, human LHX5 shares 97% aa identity with mouse LHX5, and 60% aa identity with its paralogue (common ancestoral) gene, LHX1.
