Shh (NM_009170) Mouse Recombinant Protein

Sonic hedgehog protein: The C-terminal part of the sonic hedgehog protein precursor displays an autoproteolysis and a cholesterol transferase activity (PubMed:8824192, PubMed:7891723) . Both activities result in the cleavage of the full-length protein into two parts (ShhN and ShhC) followed by the covalent attachment of a cholesterol moiety to the C-terminal of the newly generated ShhN (PubMed:8824192) . Both activities occur in the reticulum endoplasmic (PubMed:21357747) . Once cleaved, ShhC is degraded in the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:21357747) .[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
