Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for GLI2(NM_005270.4) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes a protein which belongs to the C2H2-type zinc finger protein subclass of the Gli family. Members of this subclass are characterized as transcription factors which bind DNA through zinc finger motifs. These motifs contain conserved H-C links. Gli family zinc finger proteins are mediators of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling and they are implicated as potent oncogenes in the embryonal carcinoma cell. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the cytoplasm and activates patched Drosophila homolog (PTCH) gene expression. It is also thought to play a role during embryogenesis. The encoded protein is associated with several phenotypes- Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, preaxial polydactyly type IV, postaxial polydactyly types A1 and B.

- GLI2 expression in human keratinocytes results in a marked downregulation of epidermal differentiation markers.
- important role for GLI2 in regulating epidermal proliferation and skin tumorigenesis.
- Our results establish the presence of an amino-terminal transcriptional repressor domain that plays a critical role in modulating the function of wild-type GLI2 and is essential for dominant-negative activity of a GLI2 mutant associated with human diseas
- Higher levels of TPH2 mRNA were found throughout the entire extent of the rostrocaudal axis of the median raphe nuclei in major depression and suicide.
- Upregulation of largely overlapping sets of target genes was effected by both factors,GLI1 and GLI2, repression occurred predominantly in response to GLI2.
- Alternative splicing may be another important regulatory mechanism for the modulation of repressor and activator properties of GLI2 protein.
- beta-TrCP2 is a pivotal regulator of Gli2 expression and there may be an important role for posttranslational modulation of GLI2 protein levels in Hh pathway-associated human prostate cancer
- transforming growth factor-beta has a role in Smad3-dependent activation of Gli2 and Gli1 expression
- GLI2 plays a critical role in the malignant phenotype of prostate cancer cells
- Since Gli2 silencing not only downregulates cFlip, but also Bcl-2, Gli2 could be a key target for a novel therapeutic approach in basal cell carcinoma.
- These results reveal a key role of GLI2 in activation of the activin/BMP antagonist FST in response to hedgehog (HH) signaling.
