Type: HH
Gli family zinc-finger transcription factors; GLI1‐dependent target genes (CyclinD1, Bcl‐2, Foxm1)

Glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1) is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which is crucial for cell growth, differentiation, and tissue patterning during embryonic development.
GLI1 can promote tumor growth and survival by regulating the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Its overexpression has been associated with aggressive tumor behavior and poor prognosis in several cancer types.
ts overexpression is often associated with aggressive tumor behavior, poor prognosis, and resistance to therapy
