GLI Protein Definition

The GLI1 Protein, a Kruppel family protein, is homologous to Drosophila Cubitus interruptus and contains five DNA-binding zinc finger repeats, implicated in transduction of the SHH signal; an endodermal signal that controls hindgut patterning and lung growth. The GLI1 gene is found amplified in a malignant glioma. (from OMIM 165220 and NCI)
