|
Function |
Acts as a permissive factor that is required for the proper regulation of Hedgehog (Hh) target genes in response to Hh signals. Acts downstream of the Smoothened protein to modulate Gli activity in the somites of the developing embryo. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15115751, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15198976}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=In the cytoplasm, it is localized in large vesicles. These vesicles correspond to lysosomes and/or endosomes. Can shuttle between the cytoplasm and the nucleus in a manner correlated with Hh activity.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed throughout the embryo starting at 12 hours. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15115751}.
