(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3549
Official gene symbolIHH
Full nameIndian hedgehog homolog (Drosophila)
Aliases,BDA1,HHG2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the hedgehog family of secreted signaling molecules. Hedgehog proteins are essential regulators of a variety of developmental processes including growth, patterning and morphogenesis. The encoded protein specifically plays a role in bone growth an differentiation. Mutations in this gene are the cause of brachydactyly type A1 which is characterized by shortening or malformation of the phalanges. Mutations in this gene are also the cause of acrocapitofemoral dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq]
