    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    The Hedgehog family of ligands regulates a plethora of biological processes involved in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis and regeneration, and cancer progression. The canonical Hedgehog pathway is based on a series of de-repression events mediated by the proteins Patched, Smoothened, and Su(Fu) that allow a tightly controlled activation of the downstream transcription factors Gli1, Gli2, and Gli3. We and others have recently shown that Hedgehog, signaling through Smoothened, also activates Gi proteins/GRK2/arrestin, PI3K/Akt, and ERK signaling pathways which may have physiological significance on their own. In addition, Patched directly regulates cell cycle progression in a Hedgehog-dependent manner. These newly discovered events are grouped into the so-called non-canonical Hedgehog pathway.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
