The GLI2 Polyclonal Antibody (CAB16863) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the GLI2 protein, a transcription factor involved in the Hedgehog signaling pathway. This antibody, generated in rabbits, is highly specific for human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the GLI2 protein, this antibody allows for the precise detection and analysis of GLI2 in various cell types, making it ideal for studies in developmental biology, cancer research, and stem cell biology.
GLI2 is a key player in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which plays critical roles in embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and tumorigenesis. Dysregulation of GLI2 has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including basal cell carcinoma, medulloblastoma, and pancreatic cancer. Understanding the function and regulation of GLI2 is essential for developing targeted therapies for these diseases and uncovering new insights into developmental and cancer biology.

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.
UniProt Protein Function:
Functions as transcription regulator in the hedgehog (Hh) pathway (PubMed:18455992). Functions as transcriptional activator (PubMed:9557682, PubMed:19878745, PubMed:24311597). May also function as transcriptional repressor. Requires STK36 for full transcriptional activator activity. Required for normal embryonic development (PubMed:15994174, PubMed:20685856).
