GLI2

A gene on chromosome 2q14 that encodes a protein belonging to the C2H2-type zinc finger protein subclass of the Gli family of transcription activators, which mediate Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signalling. GLI2 localises to the cytoplasm and activates patched Drosophila homolog (PTCH) gene expression, and may play a role in embryogenesis.

Molecular pathology
GLI2 mutations have been linked to Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, pre-axial polydactyly type IV and postaxial polydactyly types A1 and B.

Upon activation of HH signaling by binding of 1 of the 3 mammalian HH proteins (sonic hedgehog, Indian hedgehog, desert hedgehog) to PTCH, SMO is released and then activates interacting proteins such as suppressor of fused (SUFU), ultimately leading to activation of Gli (Gli family zinc finger) transcription factors Glil, Gli2, and Gli3, whose function is controlled by phosphorylation and proteolytic degradation (Figure 2).
Regarding the downstream consequences of upregulated HH signaling, Gli2 has been shown to induce G1-S cell cycle progression.
