Function | [Indian hedgehog protein]: The C-terminal part of the indian hedgehog protein precursor displays an autoproteolysis and a cholesterol transferase activity (By similarity). Both activities result in the cleavage of the full-length protein into two parts followed by the covalent attachment of a cholesterol moiety to the C- terminal of the newly generated N-product (By similarity). Both activities occur in the reticulum endoplasmic (By similarity). Plays a role in hedgehog paracrine signaling (PubMed:24342078). Associated with the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles to function as a circulating morphogen for endothelial cell integrity maintenance (PubMed:20839884). |
Cellular Location | [Indian hedgehog protein N-product]: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62226}. Note=The N-product remains associated with the cell surface. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q15465} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in embryonic lung, and in adult kidney and liver |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the hedgehog family ofsecreted signaling molecules. Hedgehog proteins are essentialregulators of a variety of developmental processes includinggrowth, patterning and morphogenesis. The encoded proteinspecifically plays a role in bone growth an differentiation.Mutations in this gene are the cause of brachydactyly type A1 whichis characterized by shortening or malformation of the phalanges.Mutations in this gene are also the cause of acrocapitofemoraldysplasia.
