Function

The dually lipidated sonic hedgehog protein N-product (ShhN) 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 SHH, patched represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted; Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in a number of embryonic tissues including the notochord, ventral neural tube, floor plate, lung bud, zone of polarizing activity and posterior distal mesenchyme of limbs. In the adult, expressed in lung and neural retina

Protein Biology

Function

The dually lipidated sonic hedgehog protein N-product (ShhN) is a morphogen that activates the smoothened signaling pathway, and which is essential for a variety of patterning events during development (PubMed:11389830, PubMed:14687547, PubMed:29622726, PubMed:7736596, PubMed:7916661). 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:31657721). In the absence of SHH, patched represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO (PubMed:31657721). ShhN is widely expressed and plays a key role in the patterning of the central nervous system and limb development (PubMed:11430830, PubMed:12679031, PubMed:15315762, PubMed:24863049). Induces ventral cell fate in the neural tube and somites (PubMed:11430830, PubMed:24863049). Involved in the patterning of the anterior-posterior axis of the developing limb bud (PubMed:15315762). Essential for axon guidance (PubMed:12679031)

Subcellular Location

Secreted; Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor)

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in a number of embryonic tissues including the notochord, ventral neural tube, floor plate, lung bud, zone of polarizing activity and posterior distal mesenchyme of limbs (PubMed:7916661). In the adult, expressed in lung and neural retina (PubMed:7916661)

Subunit

Multimer (PubMed:15075292, PubMed:22677548, PubMed:22902404, PubMed:24522195). Interacts with SCUBE2; SCUBE2 acts as a carrier to promote release of the dual-lipidated sonic hedgehog protein N-product (ShhN) from the cell surface (PubMed:22677548, PubMed:24522195). Interacts with DISP1 via its cholesterol anchor (PubMed:22677548, PubMed:22902404). Interacts with BOC and CDON; BOC and CDON form a heterodimer that acts as a coreceptor for ShhN (PubMed:18794898, PubMed:20519495). Interacts with GAS1; GAS1 acts as a coreceptor for ShhN (PubMed:33038332)

Gene: Shh  |  Organism: Mus musculus  |  Synonyms: HHG-1; Shh unprocessed N-terminal signaling and C-terminal autoprocfretinaessing domains
