LIMD1
protein-codingLIM domain containing 1, the group of Ajuba family
Gene summary
Predicted to enable transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of hippo signaling; regulation of gene expression; and response to hypoxia. Acts upstream of or within P-body assembly and miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Located in several cellular components, including P-body; adherens junction; and focal adhesion. Part of RISC complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2026]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_014240.3. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Adapter or scaffold protein which participates in the assembly of numerous protein complexes and is involved in several cellular processes such as cell fate determination, cytoskeletal organization, repression of gene transcription, cell-cell adhesion, cell differentiation, proliferation and migration. Positively regulates microRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene silencing and is essential for P-body formation and integrity. Acts as a hypoxic regulator by bridging an association between the prolyl hydroxylases and VHL enabling efficient degradation of HIF1A. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for SNAI1- and SNAI2/SLUG- dependent repression of E-cadherin transcription. Negatively regulates the Hippo signaling pathway and antagonizes phosphorylation of YAP1. Inhibits E2F-mediated transcription, and suppresses the expression of the majority of genes with E2F1- responsive elements. Regulates osteoblast development, function, differentiation and stress osteoclastogenesis. Enhances the ability of TRAF6 to activate adapter protein complex 1 (AP-1) and negatively regulates the canonical Wnt receptor signaling pathway in osteoblasts. May act as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cell proliferation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15542589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20303269, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20616046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21834987, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22286099}.;
