CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	involved in SHH/PTCH cell signaling
	having a tumour-suppressor function
	novel role for PTCH2 as a ciliary localized HH pathway antagonist
	essential role for ligand-dependent feedback inhibition of vertebrate HH signaling governed collectively by PTCH1, PTCH2 and HHIP
	potent tumor suppressor with a role in embryonic development
	PTCH1 and PTCH2 co-operate in regulating cellular responses to SHH
	PTCH1/PTCH2 mediate likely secretion of a SMO-inhibitory cholesterol precursor

CELLULAR PROCESS

cell organization/biogenesis

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	spermatogenesis epidermal differentiation

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

neurotransmission

a component

component of a complex with SMOH and likely with Desert hedgehog receptor

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binding to all hedgehog family members
	receptor for SHH, a secreted molecule implicated in the formation of embryonic structures and as a tumour-suppressor gene
	is a functional SHH receptor, which regulates SMO localization and activity
