Background
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.

Function
disease:A chromosomal aberration involving LHX4 may be a cause of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Translocation t(1;14)(q25;q32) with IGHG1.,disease:Defects in LHX4 are the cause of Machinis syndrome [MIM:606606]. It is characterized by short stature, pituitary and cerebellar defects, and small sella turcica.,function:May play a critical role in the development of respiratory control mechanisms and in the normal growth and maturation of the lung.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 1 LIM zinc-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 2 LIM zinc-binding domains.,
