GLI1 GLI family zinc finger 1

Gene ID: 2735, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GLI; PPD1; PAPA8

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Kruppel family of zinc finger proteins. The encoded transcription factor is activated by the sonic hedgehog signal transduction cascade and regulates stem cell proliferation. The activity and nuclear localization of this protein is negatively regulated by p53 in an inhibitory loop. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
