Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and microtubule binding activity. Involved in liver regeneration; prostate gland development; and spermatid development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of GLI-SUFU complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Biomarker of ocular hypertension and pre-malignant neoplasm.

Study provide evidence that spatiotemporal expression of Shh, Ptch1, and Gli1 was imbalanced during development of the lumbosacral spinal cord in rat embryos with ethylenethiourea induced anorectal malformations (ARMs).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
