The Hh (Hedgehog) proteins are evolutionarily conserved signaling molecules that control the normal growth and patterning of diverse animals including Drosophila and humans. In flies, Hh is required for multiple developmental processes such as embryonic segment patterning, eye and appendage development. A single Drosophila Hedgehog gene has three mammalian counterparts: SHh (Sonic Hedgehog), IHh (Indian Hedgehog), and DHh (Desert Hedgehog). The Hh proteins are extracellular signaling mole...
