Summary: Enables patched binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Schwann cell development; male gonad development; and paracrine signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Leydig cell differentiation; male sex determination; and osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; heart and pericardium; and yolk sac. Used to study 46,XY sex reversal. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal and 46,XY sex reversal 7. Orthologous to human DHH (desert hedgehog signaling molecule).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
