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 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.

Curis and Roche Group 's Genentech unit have stopped a hedgehog -- not a spiky little beast, but a signaling pathway that could be the key in developing next-generation network-targeted cancer ...
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.
Beachy purified active Hedgehog protein and showed that it binds a transmembrane receptor, Patched [14]. Genetically, Patched was known to inhibit the downstream Hedgehog pathway activator, Smoothened. Hedgehog binding to Patched activates the pathway by alleviating Patched-mediated suppression of Smoothened [16]. This theme of signaling ...

Sonidegib is administered by mouth.Common side effects include muscle spasms, hair loss, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, headache, and weight loss. [1]Sonidegib binds to and inhibits smoothened to inhibit activation of the Hedgehog pathway.
