• Species Reactivity

  Mouse

• Specificity

  Detects mouse Sonic Hedgehog in ELISAs. In Western blots, approximately 50% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse (rm) Dhh    
  (N‑terminus; aa 23‑198) is observed and no cross-reactivity with rmIhh (N-terminus; aa 66‑240), rmDhh (C‑terminus; aa 199‑396), or rmShh (C‑terminus; aa 199-437) is observed.

Background: Sonic Hedgehog/Shh

Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) is a hedgehog protein that is instrumental in patterning the early embryo. The N-terminal peptide of Shh is released by autoproteolysis and functions through interactions with a multicomponent receptor complex containing the transmembrane proteins Patched and Smoothened.
