Common Name:	LMO2	Type:	Gene
Chromosome:	11 (NC_000011.10)	Locus:	NM_005574.4 (LMO2)
HUGO Symbol:	LMO2	Full Name:	LIM domain only 2

Description:
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. It interacts with GATA1, TAL1 and LDB1 to form a transcription factor complex that in turn binds to E-box/GATA motifs that are frequent in regulatory elements of erythroid-specific genes. This complex binds to both the locus control region (LCR) and globin gene promoters during erythroid differentiation.

Synonyms: TTG2 , LMO-2 , RBTN2 , RHOM2 , RBTNL1
