== Function ==
''LHX3'' encodes a protein of a large protein family, members of which carry the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor that is required for pituitary development and motor neuron specification. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.<ref name="entrez" />
== Clinical significance ==
Mutations in this gene have been associated with a syndrome of combined pituitary hormone deficiency and rigid cervical spine.<ref name="entrez" />
==Interactions== LHX3 has been shown to interact with Ldb1.<ref name="pmid9452425">{{cite journal |vauthors=Jurata LW, Pfaff SL, Gill GN | title = The nuclear LIM domain interactor NLI mediates homo- and heterodimerization of LIM domain transcription factors | journal = J.
