The Human Glioma-Associated Oncogene Homolog 1 (GLI1) Family of Transcription Factors in Gene Regulation and Diseases
8 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling is critically important for embryogenesis and other cellular processes in which GLI transcription factors mediate the terminal effects of the pathway. GLI1, in particular, plays a significant role in human cancers. Consequently, GLI1 and its upstream positive regulator Smoothened (SMO) are important targets of anti-cancer therapy and several SMO-targeted small molecule inhibitors...
