Function
The dually lipidated indian hedgehog protein N-product is a morphogen that activates the smoothened signaling pathway, and which is essential for bone and cartilage development. Acts by binding to the patched receptor (PTCH1 or PTCH2), relieving smoothened (SMO) inhibition by patched, activating the smoothened signaling pathway and transcription of target genes. In the absence of IHH, patched represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted; Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in developing midgut, lung and cartilage of developing long bones in the limb
