NCIt synonyms : GLI-Kruppel Family Member 3; PHS; PAP-A; GCPS; GLI-Kruppel Family Member GLI3 (Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome) wt Allele; PAPA; ACLS; PAPA1; PPDIV; GLI3FL; GCPS-190; PAPB;
NCIt definition : Human GLI3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7p13 and is approximately
272 kb in length. This allele, which encodes zinc finger protein GLI3, plays a role
in the regulation of sonic hedgehog-dependent transcription of specific genes during
the development of multiple organ systems. This gene is the site of a mutation that
is linked to Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome.;
NCIt note : The GLI3 gene product plays a role in development of the central nervous system, the
esophagus, trachea, lung and limbs (Genatlas).;
