Abstract excerpt
The LHX3 LIM-homeodomain transcription factor is required for correct development of the mammalian pituitary gland and spinal motoneurons. Mutations in the LHX3 gene underlie complex diseases featuring combined anterior pituitary hormone deficiency and, in specific cases, loss of neck rotation considered to result from nervous system abnormalities. The molecular basis for LHX3 protein actions in both normal and...
