NCIt synonyms : THP; GLI Family Zinc Finger 2 wt Allele; GLI2; HPE9; THP2; PHS2; THP1; GLI-Kruppel Family Member 2 Gene; GLI-Kruppel Family Member GLI2 Gene; CJS; Glioma-Associated Oncogene Family Zinc Finger 2 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human GLI2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q14 and is approximately
200 kb in length. This allele, which encodes zinc finger protein GLI2, is involved
in the modulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.;
NCIt note : The GLI2 gene product binds to the DNA sequence 5'-GAACCACCCA-3', participates in
the enhancement of transcription of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1, and may play
a role during both embryogenesis and sonic hedgehog signal transduction (GeneCards).;
