Abstract excerpt
The Sonic hedgehog (Shh)-Gli signaling pathway regulates development of many organs, including teeth. We cloned a novel gene encoding a transcription factor that contains a zinc finger domain with highest homology to the Gli family of proteins (61-64% amino acid sequence identity) from incisor pulp. Consistent with this sequence conservation, gel mobility shift assays demonstrated that this new Gli homologous...
