CC -!- FUNCTION: Binds to the patched (PTC) receptor, which functions in CC association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription CC of target genes. In the absence of SHH, PTC represses the CC constitutive signaling activity of SMO. Also regulates another CC target, the gli oncogene. Intercellular signal essential for a CC variety of patterning events during development: signal produced CC by the notochord that induces ventral cell fate in the neural tube CC and somites, and the polarizing signal for patterning of the CC anterior-posterior axis of the developing limb bud. Displays both CC floor plate- and motor neuron-inducing activity. The threshold CC concentration of N-product required for motor neuron induction is CC 5-fold lower than that required for floor plate induction. CC -!- SUBUNIT: N-product is active as a multimer (By similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Sonic hedgehog protein C-product: Secreted, CC extracellular space (By similarity). Note=The C-terminal peptide CC diffuses from the cell (By similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Sonic hedgehog protein N-product: Cell CC membrane; Lipid-anchor (By similarity). Note=The N-product either CC remains associated with lipid rafts at the cell surface, or forms CC freely diffusible active multimers with its hydrophobic lipid- CC modified N- and C-termini buried inside (By similarity). CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the posterior limb bud CC mesenchyme, the Hensen node, the notochord, and the floor plate of CC the neural tube. CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: First detectable at stage 17 during the CC initiation of limb bud formation. From that point onwards, the CC expression pattern exactly matches the location of the zone of CC polarizing activity (ZPA). CC -!- INDUCTION: By retinoic acid. 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). The N-product is the active species CC in both local and long-range signaling, whereas the C-product has CC no signaling activity. CC -!- PTM: Cholesterylation is required for N-product targeting to lipid CC rafts and multimerization (By similarity). CC -!- PTM: N-palmitoylation of Cys-27 by HHAT is required for N-product CC multimerization and full activity (By similarity). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the hedgehog family.
