Function

Indian hedgehog protein. The C-terminal part of the indian hedgehog protein precursor displays an autoproteolysis and a cholesterol transferase activity (By similarity). Both activities result in the cleavage of the full-length protein into two parts followed by the covalent attachment of a cholesterol moiety to the C-terminal of the newly generated N-product (By similarity). Both activities occur in the reticulum endoplasmic (By similarity). Plays a role in hedgehog paracrine signaling. Associated with the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles to function as a circulating morphogen for endothelial cell integrity maintenance (By similarity). Indian hedgehog protein N-product. The dually lipidated indian hedgehog protein N-product is a morphogen which is essential for a variety of patterning events during development. Binds to the patched (PTCH1) receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription of target genes (By similarity). Plays a role in morphogenesis of the skeleton by coordinating growth and differentiation of the endochondral skeleton (PubMed:10465785, PubMed:10631175). Positively regulates PTHLH during endochondral bone formation preventing chondrocyte hypertrophy. In contrast, Ihh is necessary for normal chondrocyte proliferation in a PTHLH-independent pathway (PubMed:10631175).

Activity summary

The Indian hedgehog (Ihh) protein known by its gene symbol IHH plays key roles in cell signaling. Ihh with an approximate mass of 45 kDa belongs to the Hedgehog family of signaling molecules. It is expressed in various tissues including cartilage bone and parts of the gastrointestinal tract where it regulates growth and patterning. Ihh acts by binding to its receptor Patched triggering downstream signaling that influences cell fate decisions.

Biological function summary

Ihh is significant in regulating the differentiation and proliferation of chondrocytes in the growth plate of long bones. It acts as part of a complex regulatory network coordinating with Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) to maintain proper development of endochondral bones. Ihh also influences epithelial and mesenchymal interactions during embryo development evidencing its important role in developmental biology.

Pathways

Ihh is a critical component of the Hedgehog signaling pathway a conserved pathway involved in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. This pathway also includes proteins like Sonic hedgehog (Shh) and Desert hedgehog (Dhh) as well as the receptor Smoothened which mediates the signaling cascade. Ihh signaling impacts pathways such as the Wnt pathway influencing the proliferation and differentiation of cells thereby highlighting its integration into broader cellular signaling networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

Ihh misregulation can lead to skeletal disorders like brachydactyly type A1 characterized by shortened fingers and toes. Furthermore abnormal Ihh signaling can contribute to certain cancers such as chondrosarcoma where overactive Hedgehog signaling promotes tumorigenesis. The relationship between Ihh and other Hedgehog proteins including Shh is key in understanding these pathologies as they share pathways that are often disrupted in disease scenarios.
