Human Sonic Hedgehog Protein

Sonic Hedgehog Homolog (SHH) belongs to a three-protein family called hedgehog. The other two family members are Indian Hedgehog (IHH) and Desert Hedgehog (DHH) . Hedgehog proteins are key signaling molecules in embryonic development. SHH is expressed in various embryonic tissues and plays critical roles in regulating the patterning of many systems, such as limbs and brain. SHH also plays an important roles in the division of adult stem cells and the development of certain cancers and other diseases.SHH, DHH and IHH are structurally related, and share a high degree of amino acid sequence identity (e.g. SHH and IHH are 93% identity) . The biologically active form of each HH molecule is obtained by autocatalytic cleavage of their precursor proteins, and each corresponds to approximately one half of the N-terminal portion of the precursor molecule. Although HH proteins have unique expression patterns and distinct biological roles within their respective regions of secretion, they use the same signaling pathway and can be substituted for one another in experimental systems.

Suggested applications of our products are not recommendations to use our products in violation of any patent or as a license. We cannot be responsible for patent infringements or other violations that may occur with the use of this product.

Lyophilized recombinant Human SHH protein product should be stored desiccated below -20°C. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant Human SHH protein using the buffer we provided not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
