Background:  Hedgehog (Hh) signaling proteins are critical for growth and tissue patterning during development. Patched (Ptc), a putative 12 transmembrane receptor, binds to Sonic hedgehog and is suspected to be a negative regulator of Hh signaling. A family member of patched, designated patched 2, has been found to be co-expressed with Sonic hedgehog. Smoothened (Smo), a seven transmembrane receptor, is complexed with patched in many tissues and is believed to be an essential component in the Hh signaling pathway. Hhip (hedgehog-interacting protein) is able to bind to and may be a transcriptional target of all Hh proteins. Binding of Hhip to Hh proteins attenuates hedgehog signaling.
