NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of a large protein family which contains the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor involved in the control of differentiation and development of the pituitary gland. Mutations in this gene cause combined pituitary hormone deficiency 4.

Uniprot Description
LHX4: May play a critical role in the development of respiratory control mechanisms and in the normal growth and maturation of the lung. Defects in LHX4 are the cause of pituitary hormone deficiency combined type 4 (CPHD4); also known as short stature pituitary and cerebellar defects and small sella turcica. The disorder is characterized by short stature, pituitary and cerebellar defects, and small transverse depression crossing the midline on the superior surface of the body of the sphenoid bone which houses the pituitary gland. A chromosomal aberration involving LHX4 may be a cause of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Translocation t(1;14)(q25;q32) with IGHG1.

Product Notes
The LHX4 lhx4 (Catalog #
AAA6384181) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The LHX4 (LIM/Homeobox Protein Lhx4, LIM Homeobox Protein 4) APC reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's LHX4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the LHX4 lhx4 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"LHX4, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
