Description
LIM homeobox transcription factors are sequence-specific DNA binding proteins that regulate transcription. They have two N-terminal LIM domains (cysteine-rich, double-zinc finger motifs) and a centrally located sequence-specific DNA binding homeodomain. (Adapted from PMID:24676471 and FBrf0125444).
