{"symbol":"LMO2","synonyms":["TTG2","RBTNL1","RBTN2","LMO-2","RHOM2"],"name":"LIM domain only 2 (rhombotin-like 1)","description":"LMO2 encodes a cysteine-rich, two LIM-domain protein that is required for yolk sac erythropoiesis. The LMO2 protein has a central and crucial role in hematopoietic development and is highly conserved. The LMO2 transcription start site is located approximately 25 kb downstream from the 11p13 T-cell translocation cluster (11p13 ttc), where a number T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-specific translocations occur. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":4005,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/4005","proteins":[{"symbol":"RBTN2_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/RBTN2_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
