ZIC1

Gene
ZIC1
Protein
Zinc finger protein ZIC 1
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
447 amino acids
Function
Acts as a transcriptional activator. Involved in neurogenesis. Plays important roles in the early stage of organogenesis of the CNS, as well as during dorsal spinal cord development and maturation of the cerebellum. Involved in the spatial distribution of mossy fiber (MF) neurons within the pontine gray nucleus (PGN). Plays a role in the regulation of MF axon pathway choice. Promotes MF migration towards ipsilaterally-located cerebellar territories. May have a role in shear flow mechanotransduction in osteocytes. Retains nuclear GLI1 and GLI3 in the cytoplasm. Binds to the minimal GLI-consensus sequence 5'-TGGGTGGTC-3' (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the GLI C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.

Organism
Xenopus laevis
Length
443 amino acids
Function
Transcriptional activator that induces expression of multiple genes including pax3, en2, snai2/slug, feb and a subset of wnt genes. Has multiple key roles in the regulation of neural induction and neurogenesis: acts as a neural competence factor, sensitizing the presumptive neuroectoderm to respond to subsequent neuralizing signals. Promotes both preplacodal cell fates and neural crest cell fates, two of the cell populations that arise from the neural plate border. Cooperates with pax3 in concert with wnt signaling to determine neural crest fate. Synergizes with the bmp-inhibitor noggin/nog and acts through the wnt pathway to induce expression of en2. May bind to the minimal GLI-consensus sequence 5'-TGGGTGGTC-3'.
