Abstract
The cloning of vertebrate homologues of the Drosophila segment polarity gene patched has led to confirmation of a role for the multipass transmembrane protein which it encodes as a receptor for secreted signalling proteins of the Hedgehog family. In addition, human patched has been identified as a tumour suppressor gene implicated in basal cell carcinomas and medullablastomas.Entities:
