About Gli3

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; chromatin binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative thymic T cell selection; regulation of alpha-beta T cell differentiation; and thymocyte apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; nervous system development; and positive regulation of cell differentiation. Located in axoneme and nuclear speck. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome and Pallister-Hall syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome; Pallister-Hall syndrome; anodontia; polydactyly; and syndactyly. Orthologous to human GLI3 (Gli family zinc finger 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
