The Hedgehog signaling pathway is a signaling pathway that transmits information to embryonic cells required for proper cell differentiation. Different parts of the embryo have different concentrations of hedgehog signaling proteins. The pathway also has roles in the adult. Diseases associated with the malfunction of this pathway include cancer ...
The sonic hedgehog transcription pathway has also been linked to the formation of specific kinds of cancerous tumors, including the embryonic cerebellar tumor [30] and medulloblastoma, [31] as well as the progression of prostate cancer tumours. [32]
The classical Hedgehog signaling pathway involves glycoproteins that are secreted by cells into the intercellular space. Multiple such glycoproteins have been characterized: Sonic Hedgehog (Shh), Indian Hedgehog (Ihh), and Desert Hedgehog (Dhh). [16] Among these, Shh is the most potent.
It also is the target of vismodegib, the first hedgehog pathway inhibitor to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). [8] Smoothened (Smo) is a key transmembrane protein that is a key component of the hedgehog signaling pathway, a cell-cell communication system critical for embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis.
PTCH1 is a member of the patched gene family and is the receptor for sonic hedgehog, a secreted molecule implicated in the formation of embryonic structures and in tumorigenesis. This gene functions as a tumor suppressor .
RAB23 is an essential negative regulator of the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway. [6] The first understanding of biological processes requiring the Rab23 gene came from 2 independent mouse mutations in the gene [9] [10] and an epistasis analysis with mutations in the mouse shh gene. [6]

Smoothened agonist (SAG) was one of the first small-molecule agonists developed for the protein Smoothened, [1] a key part of the hedgehog signaling pathway, which is involved in brain development as well as having a number of other functions in the body.
