Gli1 — Gli Family Zinc Finger 1 is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
GLI1 encodes a transcription factor that serves as the primary effector of Hedgehog (HH) signaling. GLI1 is a zinc finger protein that activates transcription of target genes involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival.
GLI1 functions as a transcription factor downstream of Hedgehog signaling:
GLI1 is implicated in dopaminergic neuron survival:
GLI1 modulators are being investigated for:
