Cholesterol modification of hedgehog signaling proteins in animal development

JA Porter, KE Young, PA Beachy - Science, 1996 - science.org
Hedgehog (Hh) proteins comprise a family of secreted signaling molecules essential for
patterning a variety of structures in animal embryogenesis. During biosynthesis, Hh undergoes …

Cyclopia and defective axial patterning in mice lacking Sonic hedgehog gene function

C Chiang, Y Litingtung, E Lee, KE Young, JL Corden… - Nature, 1996 - nature.com
Targeted gene disruption in the mouse shows that the Sonic hedgehog(Shh) gene plays a
critical role in patterning of vertebrate embryonic tissues, including the brain and spinal cord, …

more than 30 years as potent teratogens capable of inducing cyclopia and other birth defects. …

Small molecule modulation of Smoothened activity

JK Chen, J Taipale, KE Young… - Proceedings of the …, 2002 - National Acad Sciences
Smoothened (Smo), a distant relative of G protein-coupled receptors, mediates Hedgehog (Hh)
signaling during embryonic development and can initiate or transmit ligand-independent …

The product of hedgehog autoproteolytic cleavage active in local and long-range signalling

JA Porter, DP von Kessler, SC Ekker, KE Young, JJ Lee… - Nature, 1995 - nature.com
THE secreted protein products of the hedgehog (hh) gene family are associated with local
