Description
Product Characteristics: This gene encodes a member of the actin-binding LIM (abLIM) family of proteins. These proteins are characterized by an N-terminal LIM domain and a C-terminal dematin-like domain. The encoded protein interacts with actin filaments and may be a component of adherens junctions in several cell types. A variant of this gene may be associated with pain sensitivity in male human patients.

Target Information: The LIM domain is a double zinc finger structure that promotes protein-protein interactions. LIM domain proteins, such as ABLIM3, play roles in embryonic development, cell lineage determination, and cancer (Krupp et al., 2006 [PubMed 16328021]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
