About Gli2

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; chordate embryonic development; and regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including axoneme; ciliary tip; and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; eye; genitourinary system; and jaw. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Culler-Jones syndrome; holoprosencephaly 9; and spina bifida. Orthologous to human GLI2 (Gli family zinc finger 2).
