Transcription factor LBX1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LBX1 gene.[3][4]

This gene and the orthologous mouse gene were found by their homology to the Drosophila lady bird early and late homeobox genes. In the mouse, this gene is a key regulator of muscle precursor cell migration and is required for the acquisition of dorsal identities of forelimb muscles.[4]
