Rabbit anti-Human GLI1 Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P08151

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GLI1

Target Full Name

Zinc finger protein GLI1

Target Function

Acts as a transcriptional activator. Binds to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-GACCACCCA-3'. Regulates the transcription of specific genes during normal development. Plays a role in craniofacial development and digital development, as well as development of the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Mediates SHH signaling. Plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation via its role in SHH signaling.; 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.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

GLI C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family

Target Tissue Specificity

Detected in testis (at protein level). Testis, myometrium and fallopian tube. Also expressed in the brain with highest expression in the cerebellum, optic nerve and olfactory tract. Isoform 1 is detected in brain, spleen, pancreas, liver, kidney and place

Target Background

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.
