Gene Information

mouse ... Shh(20423)

General description

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is a morphogenic glycoprotein. The gene encoding it is localized on mouse chromosome 5.

Application

Sonic hedgehog peptide from mouse has been used for neural differentiation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell signaling peptide involved in embryonic morphogenic development of several tissues including Hensen′s node, the notochord, and the neural tube.
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) has a role in fracture healing and regeneration. The protein associates with its receptor Patched (Ptc-1), de-represses Smoothened (Smo) and activates the Gli family of transcription factors. Mutations in the Shh pathway have been linked to developmental diseases and cancer.

Other Notes

N-terminal peptide encoding amino acid residues 25-198.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 5% trehalose and 50 μg of bovine serum albumin per 1 μg of cytokine.
