| Function | Acts as a transcriptional activator. May regulate the transcription of specific genes during normal development. May play a role in craniofacial development and digital development, as well as development of the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Mediates SHH signaling and thus cell proliferation and differentiation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10806483, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11238441}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Tethered in the cytoplasm by binding to SUFU. Activation and translocation to the nucleus is promoted by interaction with STK36. Phosphorylation by ULK3 may promote nuclear localization. Translocation to the nucleus is promoted by interaction with ZIC1. |
| Tissue Specificity | Testis, myometrium and fallopian tube. Also expressed in the brain with highest expression in the cerebellum, optic nerve and olfactory tract. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19878745}. |
| Top Pathways | Hedgehog signaling pathway, Basal cell carcinoma, cAMP signaling pathway |
