gene: lim-7 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad morphogenesis; head morphogenesis; and pharynx development. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; head neurons; lumbar neurons; pharyngeal neurons; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including atrial fibrillation; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and heart septal defect (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ISL1 (ISL LIM homeobox 1) and ISL2 (ISL LIM homeobox 2).
