Target Information

Gene Name
KIF7
Gene ID
UniProt No.
Gene Function
Acts as both a negative and positive regulator of sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway, acting downstream of SMO. Negatively regulates the pathway by preventing inappropriate activation of the transcriptional activator GLI2 in the absence of ligand. Positively regulates the pathway by preventing the processing of the transcription factor GLI3 into its repressor form. Required for efficient localization of GLI3 to cilia in response to Shh. May also act as a ciliary motor.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the kinesin-like protein family. KIF27 subfamily.Contains 1 kinesin-motor domain.
