Protein Domain : Transcription factor GLI3

Primary Identifier  IPR032851 Type  Family
Short Name  GLI3
description  GLI3 is a member of the GLI family of transcription factors, which also includes GLI1 and GLI2. They are central effectors of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway in vertebrates [, ]. GLI1 is an obligatory activator, whereas GLI2 and GLI3 carry activator and repressor functions []. The full-length GLI3 form, after phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, acts as an activator (GLI3A) while its C-terminally truncated form acts as a repressor (GLI3R). GLI3 participates in the patterning and growth of many organs, including the central nervous system (CNS) and limbs [, , , , ].
