Function

LMO2 encodes a cysteine-rich, two LIM domain protein that is required for yolk sac erythropoiesis.[6] The LMO2 protein has a central and crucial role in hematopoietic development and is highly conserved.

Clinical significance

The LMO2 transcription start site is located approximately 25 kb downstream from the 11p13 T-cell translocation cluster (11p13 ttc), where a number of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-specific translocations occur.[7]

Interactions

LMO2 has been shown to interact with:

• GATA1,[8]
• GATA2,[8]
• JARID1A,[9]
• MLLT4,[10] and
• TAL1[8][11][12][13]
