Background Information
GLI1, also known as Glioma-associated oncogene, is a 1106 amino acid protein, which belongs to the GLI C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. GLI1 is detected in testis and Also expressed in the brain with highest expression in the cerebellum, optic nerve and olfactory tract. GLI1 is tethered in the cytoplasm by binding to SUFU (PubMed:10806483). GLI1 is activated and translocated to the nucleus promoted by interaction with STK36 (PubMed:10806483). Phosphorylation of GLI1 by ULK3 may promote nuclear localization (PubMed:19878745). GLI1 as a transcriptional activator may regulate the transcription of specific genes during normal development (PubMed:19706761). GLI1 plays a role in craniofacial development and digital development, as well as development of the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract and Mediates SHH signaling (PubMed:19706761). GLI1 plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation via its role in SHH signaling.

Reviews
What customers say
Overall, users report mixed results. One reviewer found it works well for IHC on mouse tissue at 1:1000. Another detected the expected ~140 kDa band in human PBMC lysates by Western blot at 1:1000, though with a single band. A third reviewer was less satisfied, noting the antibody recognized a slightly higher molecular weight band that did not reflect true GLI1 induction after Shh treatment, calling it misleading. One user reported good immunofluorescence results at 1:500 in mouse NIH3T3 cells, showing the expected mixed nuclear/cytosolic staining. In summary, performance is generally positive for IHC and IF, with some caution advised for Western blot specificity.

Bárbara (Verified Customer) (07-31-2025) | We tested the GLI1 antibody (Proteintech) for Western blot in human PBMC lysates at 1:1000 dilution. The expected ~140 kDa band low, but with one band

Boyan (Verified Customer) (07-23-2019) | In my experiment, I used the untreated and Shh ligand-treated cell lysates, in which the protein level of Gli1 should be increased after Shh treatment.With these two samples, I could detect a significant induction of the Gli1 protein using another Gli1 antibody. But, I could not see this induction with this antibody (66905-1-lg). A tricky thing is that, comparing with the real Gli1 band shown by the other antibody, this antibody (66905-1-lg) could recognise a protein at a similar molecular weight (but a little higher than that real Gli1). I think this is misleading, because although being shown on the website, that band is not the real band of Gli1.
