Acts as a negative regulator of SHH signaling in the absence of SHH ligand: interacts with SUFU, thereby inactivating the protein kinase activity and preventing phosphorylation of GLI proteins (GLI1, GLI2 and/or GLI3). Positively regulates SHH signaling in the presence of SHH: dissociates from SUFU, autophosphorylates and mediates phosphorylation of GLI2, activating it and promoting its nuclear translocation. Phosphorylates in vitro GLI2, as well as GLI1 and GLI3, although less efficiently. Also acts as a regulator of autophagy: following cellular senescence, able to induce autophagy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19279323, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19878745, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20643644}. |MIT| |Pkinase Tyr| |Pkinase| |phagophore assembly site| |negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway| |positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway| |cellular senescence| |ciliary tip| |autophagosome assembly| |cell aging| |autophagosome organization| |regulation of smoothened signaling pathway| |vacuole organization| |macroautophagy| |protein autophosphorylation| |process utilizing autophagic mechanism| |autophagy| |aging| |regulation of autophagy| |protein serine/threonine kinase activity| |organelle assembly| |regulation of cellular catabolic process| |protein phosphorylation| |regulation of catabolic process| |negative regulation of signal transduction| |phosphorylation| |negative regulation of cell communication| |negative regulation of signaling| |ATP binding| |negative regulation of response to stimulus| |positive regulation of signal transduction| |cellular response to stress| |cellular catabolic process| |positive regulation of cell communication| |positive regulation of signaling| |membrane| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp1|5-Fluorouracil 2μM R00 exp1]]|-2.64| |[[:results:exp472|CI-1040 9.5μM R08 exp472]]|-1.85| |[[:results:exp365|I-BRD9 4μM R07 exp365]]|-1.85| |[[:results:exp466|Cannabidiol 20μM R08 exp466]]|-1.83| |[[:results:exp18|Doxycycline 10μM R00 exp18]]|-1.83| |[[:results:exp457|Bisphenol F 50μM R08 exp457]]|-1.76| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
