Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Function | G protein-coupled receptor which associates with the patched protein (PTCH) to transduce hedgehog protein signaling. Binding of sonic hedgehog (SHH) to its receptor patched prevents inhibition of smoothened (SMO) by patched. When active, SMO binds to and sequesters protein kinase A catalytic subunit PRKACA at the cell membrane, preventing PRKACA-mediated phosphorylation of GLI transcription factors which releases the GLI proteins from PRKACA-mediated inhibition and allows for transcriptional activation of hedgehog pathway target genes (By similarity). Required for the accumulation of KIF7, GLI2 and GLI3 in the cilia (PubMed:19592253). Interacts with DLG5 at the ciliary base to induce the accumulation of KIF7 and GLI2 at the ciliary tip for GLI2 activation (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P56726}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, cilium. Note=Cilium localization is promoted by SHH and is required for activity. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P56726} |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor that interacts with the patched protein, a receptor for hedgehog proteins. The encoded protein tranduces signals to other proteins after activation by a hedgehog protein/patched protein complex.
