| Tissue Specificity | Detected in testis (at protein level). Testis, myometrium and fallopian tube. Also expressed in the brain with highest expression in the cerebellum, optic nerve and olfactory tract. Isoform 1 is detected in brain, spleen, pancreas, liver, kidney and placenta.isoform 2 is not detectable in these tissues. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated in vitro by ULK3. Acetylation at Lys-518 down-regulates transcriptional activity. Deacetylated by HDAC1. Ubiquitinated by the CRL2(FEM1B) complex, suppressing GLI1 transcriptional activator activity. |
| Function | Acts as a transcriptional activator. Binds to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-GACCACCCA-3'. Regulates the transcription of specific genes during normal development. Plays a role in craniofacial development and digital development, as well as development of the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Mediates SHH signaling. Plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation via its role in SHH signaling. Isoform 2: Acts as a transcriptional activator, but activates a different set of genes than isoform 1. Activates expression of CD24, unlike isoform 1. Mediates SHH signaling. Promotes cancer cell migration. |
