MW 550.7 Da, Purity >98%. Novel, cell permeable Hedgehog signaling pathway antagonist (IC50 = 100-200 nM). Selectively binds to smoothened (Smo) (Ki = 44 nM). Blocks the formation of and induces the regression of basaloid lesions in skin punches and shrinks UV-induced basaloid lesions in adult mouse skin. Inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in tumor cells without affecting non-tumor cells.

Biological function summary
Smoothened is essential for the Hh signaling pathway which is pivotal for embryonic development and tissue regeneration. In this context Smoothened participates in a complex that includes Patched and Gli family transcription factors. This complex orchestrates the transcription of target genes necessary for cellular proliferation differentiation and tissue organization. Smoothened’s role in activating transcription factors makes it integral to modulating gene expression in response to external Hh signals.
Pathways
Smoothened is a central component of the Hedgehog signaling pathway which plays an important role in cell differentiation and organogenesis. Two of the significant pathways it influences are the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and Indian Hedgehog (Ihh) signaling pathways. Within these pathways Smoothened interacts closely with the protein Patched which inhibits Smoothened in the absence of Hedgehog ligands. The downstream activation of Smoothened results in the modulation of Gli transcription factors altering the expression of various developmental genes.
