GLI1

Acts as a transcriptional activator (PubMed:10806483, PubMed:19706761, PubMed:19878745, PubMed:24076122, PubMed:24217340, PubMed:24311597). Binds to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-GACCACCCA-3' (PubMed:2105456, PubMed:24217340, PubMed:8378770). Regulates the transcription of specific genes during normal development (PubMed:19706761). Plays a role in craniofacial development and digital development, as well as development of the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Mediates SHH signaling (PubMed:19706761, PubMed:28973407). Plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation via its role in SHH signaling (PubMed:11238441, PubMed:28973407).

Isoform 2

Acts as a transcriptional activator, but activates a different set of genes than isoform 1. Activates expression of CD24, unlike isoform 1. Mediates SHH signaling. Promotes cancer cell migration.

Polydactyly, postaxial, A8

PAPA8

A form of postaxial polydactyly, a condition characterized by the occurrence of supernumerary digits in the upper and/or lower extremities. In postaxial polydactyly type A, the extra digit is well-formed and articulates with the fifth or a sixth metacarpal/metatarsal. PAPA8 is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by the presence of postaxial extra digits (hexadactyly) on the hands and/or the feet.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Polydactyly, preaxial 1

PPD1

A form of polydactyly, a condition defined by the occurrence of supernumerary digits in the upper and/or lower extremities. Preaxial or radial polydactyly refers to the presence of extra digits on the radial side of the hand. PPD1 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by duplication of the distal phalanx of the thumb.

None

The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Phosphorylated in vitro by ULK3.

Acetylation at Lys-518 down-regulates transcriptional activity. Deacetylated by HDAC1.

Ubiquitinated by the CRL2(FEM1B) complex, suppressing GLI1 transcriptional activator activity.

Belongs to the GLI C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.

Detected in testis (at protein level) (PubMed:2105456). Testis, myometrium and fallopian tube. Also expressed in the brain with highest expression in the cerebellum, optic nerve and olfactory tract (PubMed:19878745). Isoform 1 is detected in brain, spleen, pancreas, liver, kidney and placenta; isoform 2 is not detectable in these tissues (PubMed:19706761).

• Cytoplasm
• Nucleus
• Tethered in the cytoplasm by binding to SUFU (PubMed:10806483). Activation and translocation to the nucleus is promoted by interaction with STK36 (PubMed:10806483). Phosphorylation by ULK3 may promote nuclear localization (PubMed:19878745). Translocation to the nucleus is promoted by interaction with ZIC1 (PubMed:11238441).
