technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the use of a gene, in particular to the use of human homeobox gene LHX4 in preparing pheochromocytoma therapeutic drugs. Background technique
[0002] Homeobox gene (homeobox gene) is a class of genes discovered in Gehring Laboratory in Switzerland in 1983. They share a 180-base-pair, highly conserved homeobox sequence at the 3′ end of the gene exon. Hence the name, the expression product of homeobox gene is an important type of transcription factor, the main control gene of development, and plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development. The protein translated from this sequence is more conservative and rich in basic amino acids, so it is called homeodomain. LIM homeobox gene (LIM homeobox gene) belongs to the homeobox gene family, it not only has a homeobox structure, but also contains two LIM domains rich in cysteine and histidine. The name of the LIM domain is derived from the acronym of the ...
