| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription and spinal cord association neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development and regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including future brain; limb; nervous system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Orthologous to human LHX5 (LIM homeobox 5). PHENOTYPE: Most mice homozygous for a null mutation display defective hippocampal development and die within a few days after birth. Postmitotic hippocampal cells are unable to differentiate properly and migrate to correct positions, resulting in structural anomalies of the Ammon's horn and the dentate gyrus.
