OX NCBI_TaxID=8330; RN [1] RP SEQUENCE FROM N.A. RC TISSUE=Embryo; RX MEDLINE=96136334; PubMed=8573168; RA Takabatake T., Takahashi T.C., Inoue K., Ogawa M., Takeshima K.; RT "Activation of two Cynops genes, fork head and sonic hedgehog, in RT animal cap explants."; RL Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 218:395-401(1996). CC -!- FUNCTION: Intercellular signal essential for a variety of CC patterning events during development and metamorphosis. Involved CC in limb formation, patterning of the central nervous system and CC ventral somite differentiation. Induces ectopic cement gland CC formation in embryos. Binds to the patched (PTC) receptor, which CC functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the CC transcription of target genes. In the absence of SHH, PTC CC represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO (By CC similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: The C-terminal peptide diffuses from the CC cell, while the N-terminal peptide remains associated with the CC cell surface. Is also secreted in either cleaved or uncleaved form CC to mediate signaling to other cells (By similarity). CC -!- INDUCTION: Activated by activin, basic fibroblast growth factor CC (BFGF) and fork head. CC -!- PTM: The C-terminal domain displays an autoproteolysis activity CC and a cholesterol transferase activity. Both activities result in CC the cleavage of the full-length protein and covalent attachment of CC a cholesterol moiety to the C-terminal of the newly generated N- CC terminal fragment (N-product). This covalent modification appears CC to play an essential role in restricting the spatial distribution CC of the protein activity to the cell surface. The N-product is the CC active species in both local and long-range signaling, whereas the CC C-product has no signaling activity (By similarity). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the hedgehog family.
