Target Species

Zebrafish

Target Name

SHHA

Target Function

Sonic hedgehog protein: The C-terminal part of the sonic hedgehog protein precursor displays an autoproteolysis and a cholesterol transferase activity. Both activities result in the cleavage of the full-length protein into two parts (ShhN and ShhC) followed by the covalent attachment of a cholesterol moiety to the C-terminal of the newly generated ShhN. Both activities occur in the reticulum endoplasmic. Once cleaved, ShhC is degraded in the endoplasmic reticulum.; The dually lipidated sonic hedgehog protein N-product (ShhNp) is a morphogen which is essential for a variety of patterning events during development. Induces ventral cell fate in the neural tube and somites. Involved in the patterning of the anterior-posterior axis of the developing limb bud. Essential for axon guidance. Binds to the patched (PTCH1) receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription of target genes. In the absence of SHH, PTCH1 represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane.; [Sonic hedgehog protein A N-product]: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor.

Target Protein Families

Hedgehog family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the ventral midline of the neural tube and brain. Also found in the notochord and in developing fin bud. In the developing brain, expression occurs in domains that include a discrete region in the floor of the diencephalon.
