High impact information on PTCH1

  • We show that Shh expression domains are lost from the talpid(3) head--in hindbrain, midbrain, zona limitans intrathalamica, and stomodeal ectoderm--and that direct targets of Hedgehog signaling, Ptc1, Ptc2, and Gli1, are also absent even in areas associated with primary Shh expression [1].
 

Anatomical context of PTCH1

  • Dorsally expressed Shh signals induce ectopic transcription of its receptor Ptc1 in the midbrain and the hindbrain [2].
