Abstract excerpt
The secreted protein products of the hedgehog (hh) gene family are associated with local and long-range signalling activities that are responsible for developmental patterning in multiple systems, including Drosophila embryonic and larval tissues and vertebrate neural tube, limbs and somites. In a process that is critical for full biological activity, the hedgehog protein (Hh) undergoes autoproteolysis to...
