Full name: GLI-Kruppel family member GLI1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: Zfp-5; Zfp5

Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and microtubule binding activity. Involved in regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; cell surface receptor signaling pathway involved in cell-cell signaling; and regionalization. Located in axoneme and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; long bone; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GLI1 (GLI family zinc finger 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
