Target data 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. Associated with the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles to function as a circulating morphogen for endothelial cell integrity maintenance (By similarity).. Indian hedgehog protein N-product. The dually lipidated indian hedgehog protein N-product is a morphogen which is essential for a variety of patterning events during development. Binds to the patched (PTCH1) receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription of target genes (By similarity). Plays a role in morphogenesis of the skeleton by coordinating growth and differentiation of the endochondral skeleton (PubMed : 10465785, PubMed : 10631175). Positively regulates PTHLH during endochondral bone formation preventing chondrocyte hypertrophy. In contrast, Ihh is necessary for normal chondrocyte proliferation in a PTHLH-independent pathway (PubMed : 10631175). See full target information Ihh
