Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables patched binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Schwann cell development; male gonad development; and paracrine signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Leydig cell differentiation; male sex determination; and osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; heart and pericardium; and yolk sac. Used to study 46,XY sex reversal. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal and 46,XY sex reversal 7. Orthologous to human DHH (desert hedgehog signaling molecule).
