ISL1 is a member of the LIM/homeodomain family of transcription factors. It binds to the enhancer region of the insulin gene, among others, and may play an important role in regulating insulin gene expression. ISL1 is central to the development of pancreatic cell lineages and may also be required for motor neuron generation. This gene encodes a member of the LIM/homeodomain family of transcription factors. The encoded protein binds to the enhancer region of the insulin gene, among others, and may play an important role in regulating insulin gene expression. The encoded protein is central to the development of pancreatic cell lineages and may also be required for motor neuron generation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Please see the Entrez Gene record to access additional publications.1) Laurin, N., (er) Am. J. Med. Genet.
