General annotation (Comments)

Function

Intercellular signal essential for a variety of patterning events during development. Involved in dorso-ventral patterning of the brain and in early patterning of the developing eyes.

Subcellular location

Tiggy-winkle hedgehog protein N-product: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Extracellular side By similarity. Note: The N-terminal peptide remains associated with the cell surface By similarity.

Tiggy-winkle hedgehog protein C-product: Secretedextracellular space By similarity. Note: The C-terminal peptide diffuses from the cell By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in the ventral midline of the neural tube and brain. In the developing brain, expression occurs in domains that include a discrete region in the floor of the diencephalon. Not detected in the notochord or developing fin bud.

Post-translational modification

The C-terminal domain displays an autoproteolysis activity and a cholesterol transferase activity. Both activities result in the cleavage of the full-length protein and covalent attachment of a cholesterol moiety to the C-terminal of the newly generated N-terminal fragment (N-product). This covalent modification appears to play an essential role in restricting the spatial distribution of the protein activity to the cell surface. The N-product is the active species in both local and long-range signaling, whereas the C-product has no signaling activity By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the hedgehog family.
