products description :
The hedgehog (hh) gene encoding a secreted protein was originally identified in Drosophila as a segment polarity gene. The vertebrate homologues of Hh comprise several proteins including sonic hedgehog (Shh), Indian hedgehog (Ihh), and Desert hedgehog (Dhh). Hedgehog proteins are important signaling molecules during embryonic development and are highly conserved within and across species. Mouse and human Ihh share 100% aa identity in the signaling domain, while mouse Ihh and Shh share 90% aa identity in the N terminal signaling domain. Ihh mRNA expression is detected in fetal lung, gut, stomach, liver, kidney, pancreas and strongly in cartilage, in growth regions of the developing bone. Ihh, along with parathyroid hormone related protein, regulate the rate of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. Ihh is also involved in yolk sac vasculogenesis, playing an important role in differentiation of epiblast cells into endothelial and red blood cells. Mouse Ihh cDNA encodes a 41aa polypeptide with a predicted 27aa signal peptide. This polypeptide is cleaved to generate a 45kD precursor protein that undergoes the same post translation processing as Shh. An autocatalytic reaction yields a 19kD amino terminal domain Ihh-N protein that retains all known signaling capabilities, and a 23kD carboxy terminal domain Ihh-C protein. Since hydrophobic modifications to Shh, including the substitution of the N terminal cysteine residue with two hydrophobic isoleucine residues, can also increase its potency, a similar modification was made for Ihh. This modified form also shows increased potency in a bioassay measuring induction of alkaline phosphatase. At the cell surface, Hedgehog activity is mediated by a multicomponent receptor complex involving the 12 pass transmembrane protein Patched (Ptc) which binds Hedgehogs with high affinity and Smoothened (Smo), a signaling seven transmembrane G protein coupled receptor.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the hedgehog family of secreted signaling molecules. Hedgehog proteins are essential regulators of a variety of developmental processes including growth, patterning and morphogenesis. The encoded protein specifically plays a role in bone growth an differentiation. Mutations in this gene are the cause of brachydactyly type A1 which is characterized by shortening or malformation of the phalanges. Mutations in this gene are also the cause of acrocapitofemoral dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
IHH: Intercellular signal essential for a variety of patterning events during development. Binds to the patched (PTC) receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription of target genes. Implicated in endochondral ossification: may regulate the balance between growth and ossification of the developing bones. Induces the expression of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHRP). Expressed in embryonic lung, and in adult kidney and liver. Belongs to the hedgehog family. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q33-q35.
