    • found: Work cat: Grover, V. K. From fats to fluorescent fish : lipid modifications of Sonic hedgehog ligand dictate cellular reception and signal response, c2011:page 3 (During vertebrate evolution, genome duplication and divergence of the Hh gene, resulted in three types of Hh subgroups in mammals and avian, Sonic hedgehog (Shh), Indian hedgehog (Ihh) and Desert hedgehog (Dhh). Shh expression is conserved across species in the notochord and floor plate, while Dhh and Ihh have varied expression patterns and can be found in the gonads and in bone growth plates respectively)
    • found: MeSH 2016:(Hedgehog Proteins: A family of intercellular signaling proteins that play and important role in regulating the development of many TISSUES and organs. Their name derives from the observation of a hedgehog-like appearance in DROSOPHILA embryos with genetic mutations that block their action; entry terms: Banded hedgehog protein, Desert hedgehog protein, Indian hedgehog protein, Sonic hedgehog protein, Vertebrate hedgehog protein)
    • found: Riobo, N.A. Hedgehog signaling protocols, c2015:preface (Mammalian genomes contain three homologs of the Drosophila Hh protein--Sonic (Shh), Indian (Ihh), and Desert (Dhh), encoded by separate genes [1]. All Hh proteins ...)
