Comments
  • FUNCTION: Intercellular signal essential for a variety of patterning events during development. May function as a spermatocyte survival factor in the testes. Essential for testes development.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Desert hedgehog protein N-product: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Extracellular side (By similarity). Note=The N-terminal peptide remains associated with the cell surface (By similarity).
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Desert hedgehog protein C-product: Secreted, extracellular space (By similarity). Note=The C-terminal peptide diffuses from the cell (By similarity).
  • PTM: The C-terminal domain displays an autoproteolysis activity and a cholesterol transferase activity. Both activities result in the cleavage of the full-length protein and covalent attachment of a cholesterol moiety to the C-terminal of the newly generated N-terminal fragment (N-product). This covalent modification appears to play an essential role in restricting the spatial distribution of the protein activity to the cell surface. The N-product is the active species in both local and long-range signaling, whereas the C-product has no signaling activity (By similarity).
  • DISEASE: Defects in DHH may be the cause of partial gonadal dysgenesis with minifascicular neuropathy 46,XY (PGD) [MIM:607080]. PGD is characterized by the presence of a testis on one side and a streak or an absent gonad at the other, persistence of Muellerian duct structures, and a variable degree of genital ambiguity.
  • DISEASE: Defects in DHH may be the cause of complete pure gonadal dysgenesis 46,XY type (GDXYM) [MIM:233420]; also called male-limited gonadal dysgenesis 46,XY. GDXYM is a type of hypogonadism in which no functional gonads are present to induce puberty in an externally female person whose karyotype is then found to be XY. The gonads are found to be non-functional streaks.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the hedgehog family.
