Sonic hedgehog protein (SHH) plays a critical role in development of embryonic morphogenesis which mediate the process of organogenesis and central nervous system. The sonic hedgehog signal pathway also plays an important role in cancerous tumors like embryonic cerebellar tumor, prostate cancer tumours and medulloblastoma. Shh binds the receptor (Ptc1) that induce the smo protein to activate the downstream pathway, which induce the shh target gene expression.
