HHIP
Description
The HHIP (hedgehog interacting protein) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.
The HHIP gene encodes a protein, Hedgehog interacting protein (HHIP), which is involved in the Hedgehog signaling pathway. This pathway is crucial for embryonic development, regulating aspects like limb formation and left-right asymmetry. HHIP shares similarities with the mouse hedgehog interacting protein and plays a regulatory role within this pathway.
HHIP regulates hedgehog signaling in various cell types, particularly in the brain and lungs. It achieves this regulation by directly interacting with members of the hedgehog family.
HHIP is also known as HIP.
