About Gli2

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; promoter-specific chromatin binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in prostate gland development and response to mechanical stimulus. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axoneme; ciliary tip; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula. 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).
