• Species Reactivity

  Mouse

• Specificity

  Detects mouse Desert Hedgehog/Dhh N-Terminus in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs and Western blots, approximately 20% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse (rm) Shh N-terminal peptide (aa 25‑198) is observed. Additionally, in direct ELISAs, no cross‑reactivity with rmDhh C-terminal peptide (aa 199‑396) and rmIhh C-terminal peptide (aa 241‑449) is observed.

Background: Desert Hedgehog/Dhh

Dhh regulates testis development and spermatogenesis via interaction of its N-terminal domain with the receptors Patched and Patched-2. Hedgehog proteins are secreted as precursor molecules that undergo autocatalytic internal cleavage to yield an N-terminal domain that has signaling activity and a C-terminal domain that is active in precursor processing.
