LMO2 LIM domain only 2

Gene ID: 4005, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TTG2; LMO-2; RBTN2; RHOM2; RBTNL1

Summary

LMO2 encodes a cysteine-rich, two LIM-domain protein that is required for yolk sac erythropoiesis. The LMO2 protein has a central and crucial role in hematopoietic development and is highly conserved. The LMO2 transcription start site is located approximately 25 kb downstream from the 11p13 T-cell translocation cluster (11p13 ttc), where a number T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-specific translocations occur. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
