Function

The dually lipidated desert hedgehog protein N-product is a morphogen that activates the smoothened signaling pathway, and which is essential for a variety of patterning events during 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 DHH, patched represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted; Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in adult testes. Not expressed in limb buds

Protein Biology

Function

The dually lipidated desert hedgehog protein N-product is a morphogen that activates the smoothened signaling pathway, and which is essential for a variety of patterning events during development (PubMed:40494346). 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 (PubMed:33063110, PubMed:40494346, PubMed:9811851). In the absence of DHH, patched represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO (By similarity). DHH plays a key role in male gonad development (spermatogenesis) and the formation of Schwann cells (PubMed:10482238, PubMed:11090455, PubMed:8805249). Required for normal testis development and spermatogenesis, namely for the formation of adult-type Leydig cells and normal development of peritubular cells and seminiferous tubules (PubMed:11090455, PubMed:8805249). In Schwann cells, controls the development of the peripheral nerve sheath and the transition of mesenchymal cells to form the epithelium-like structure of the perineurial tube (PubMed:10482238). May induce motor neurons in lateral neural tube and may have a polarizing activity (By similarity). Involved in tissue regeneration: secreted from epithelial neuroendocrine cells and elicits a regenerative response from mesenchymal cells (PubMed:40494346). Functions in cell-cell mediated juxtacrine signaling (By similarity). Activates primary cilia signaling on neighboring valve interstitial cells through a paracrine mechanism (PubMed:32151560). Promotes endothelium integrity (PubMed:33063110)
