Interaction Information:
| Comment | Loss of Hedgehog function in the fly results in a disorganized lawn of spiky processes and denticles on the surface of the fly larva, a Hedgehog-like phenotype that coined the name of the pathway. The primary cilium, commonly thought to be a prerogative of Hedgehog signalling in vertebrates, has also been shown to play a central role in flies. Vertebrate canonical Hedgehog signalling is initiated by binding of proteolytically processed and lipid modified Hedgehog ligand to its receptor Patched (Ptch), a twelve-pass transmembrane protein that represses the pathway in the absence of ligand. Three distinct co-receptors, Cdo, Boc, and Gas1, facilitate high-affinity binding of mature Hedgehog ligand to Ptch, thereby enhancing Hedgehog signal strength. |
