Novel homozygous mutations in Desert hedgehog gene in patients with 46,XY complete gonadal dysgenesis and prediction of its structural and functional implications by computational methods. The desert hedgehog protein N-product binds calcium and zinc ions; this stabilizes the protein fold and is essential for protein-protein interactions mediated by this domain. desert hedgehog protein.

This gene functions as a … Epub 2011 Jul 23. Our findings suggest heterozygous DHH gene variants are unlikely to cause DSD, reaffirming that DHH is an autosomal recessive cause of 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis. DHH (Desert Hedgehog Signaling Molecule) is a Protein Coding gene. The encoded protein is the receptor for sonic hedgehog, a secreted molecule implicated in the formation of embryonic structures and in tumorigenesis, as well as the desert hedgehog and indian hedgehog proteins.
The desert hedgehog protein N-product binds calcium and zinc ions; this stabilizes the protein fold and is essential for protein-protein interactions mediated by this domain. Diseases associated with DHH include 46,Xy Gonadal Dysgenesis, Partial, With Minifascicular Neuropathy and 46,Xy Sex Reversal 7.Among its related pathways are ERK Signaling and Signaling events mediated by the Hedgehog family.Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include calcium ion binding and patched … Anti-Desert hedgehog protein (DHH) Antibody, clone 19D7.2 clone 19D7.2, from mouse; Synonym: desert hedgehog homolog (Drosophila), desert hedgehog (Drosophila) homolog, desert hedgehog; find Sigma-Aldrich-04-967 MSDS, related peer-reviewed papers, technical documents, similar products & more at Sigma-Aldrich. The hedgehog gene family encodes signaling molecules that play an important role in regulating morphogenesis.
