Glioma-associated oncogene homologue protein 1 (GLI1)

Target
GLI1
Molecular classification
Transcription factor
01

Overview

Glioma-associated oncogene homologue 1 (GLI1) is a zinc finger transcription factor and a key effector of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway. It functions primarily as a transcriptional activator, regulating genes involved in cell cycle progression, migration, invasion, and survival. GLI1 overexpression is observed in various cancers, including gliomas and breast carcinomas, making it an attractive target for anti-cancer therapy. Targeting the Hh–Gli axis could impact tumor growth/survival across multiple cancer types.
