NCIt definition : Human LIMK1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q11.23 and is approximately
39 kb in length. This allele, which encodes LIM domain kinase 1 protein, plays a role
in stabilization of the actin cytoskeleton via inactivation of the actin binding/depolymerizing
factor cofilin. Hemizygosity of the LIMK1 gene is associated with Williams syndrome.;
NCIt note : The LIMK1 gene is putatively involved in brain development.;
