Function | [Desert hedgehog protein]: The C-terminal part of the desert 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 (N- product and C-product) 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). Functions in cell-cell mediated juxtacrine signaling (PubMed:24342078). Promotes endothelium integrity (PubMed:33063110). Binds to PTCH1 receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription of target genes in endothelial cells (PubMed:33063110). In Schwann cells, controls the development of the peripheral nerve sheath and the transition of mesenchymal cells to form the epithelium-like structure of the perineurial tube (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | [Desert hedgehog protein N-product]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62226}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62226} |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the hedgehog family. Thehedgehog gene family encodes signaling molecules that play animportant role in regulating morphogenesis. This protein ispredicted to be made as a precursor that is autocatalyticallycleaved; the N-terminal portion is soluble and contains thesignalling activity while the C-terminal portion is involved inprecursor processing. More importantly, the C-terminal productcovalently attaches a cholesterol moiety to the N-terminal product,restricting the N-terminal product to the cell surface andpreventing it from freely diffusing throughout the organism.Defects in this protein have been associated with partial gonadaldysgenesis (PGD) accompanied by minifascicular polyneuropathy. Thisprotein may be involved in both male gonadal differentiation andperineurial development.
