Function

Has a dual function as a transcriptional activator and a repressor of the sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway, and plays a role in limb development. The full-length GLI3 form (GLI3FL) after phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, acts as an activator (GLI3A) while GLI3R, its C-terminally truncated form, acts as a repressor. A proper balance between the GLI3 activator and the repressor GLI3R, rather than the repressor gradient itself or the activator/repressor ratio gradient, specifies limb digit number and identity. In concert with TRPS1, plays a role in regulating the size of the zone of distal chondrocytes, in restricting the zone of PTHLH expression in distal cells and in activating chondrocyte proliferation. Binds to the minimal GLI-consensus sequence 5'-GGGTGGTC-3'.

Notes

ab240243 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Gli3 antibody [EPR4594] ab181130.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Gli3 also known as GLI Family Zinc Finger 3 is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Gli3 functions as both an activator and a repressor depending on its post-translational modification state. It has a molecular mass of approximately 172 kDa. Mainly expressed in the limb buds central nervous system and other embryonic tissues Gli3 influences the development of various structures during embryogenesis.

Biological function summary

Gli3 is essential for proper organ and tissue development. It associates with other proteins including the Suppressor of Fused (SUFU) to form complexes that regulate target gene expression. Gli3 interacts with GLI1 and GLI2 all of which are part of the Gli family of transcription factors. These interactions modulate various developmental processes by controlling target gene transcription ensuring tissues develop correctly.

Pathways

Gli3 is an important player in the Hedgehog signaling pathway and also impacts a secondary pathway the Wnt signaling pathway. Gli3 acts in coordination with the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) protein regulating developmental gene expression. SHH binds to the Patched receptor affecting Gli3's function as a transcriptional repressor or activator. By these pathways Gli3 ensures proper cellular communication and structural formation.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or dysregulation of Gli3 are connected to two major conditions: Pallister-Hall Syndrome and Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome. Both conditions involve limb malformations and other developmental defects due to abnormal GLI3 function. Furthermore Gli3 dysregulation links to abnormal activity of SUFU and GLI2 contributing to the pathogenesis of these syndromes. Understanding these interactions can provide critical insights into therapeutic strategies for related disorders.
