Purification process
The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Other name
SMO; SMOH; Smoothened homolog; SMO; Protein Gx
Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor that interacts with the patched protein, a receptor for hedgehog proteins. The encoded protein tranduces signals to other proteins after activation by a hedgehog protein/patched protein complex. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010],
Function
disease:Defects in SMO are involved in basal cell carcinoma (BCC).,function:G protein-coupled receptor that probably associates with the patched protein (PTCH) to transduce the hedgehog's proteins signal. Binding of sonic hedgehog (SHH) to its receptor patched is thought to prevent normal inhibition by patched of smoothened (SMO).,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor Fz/Smo family.,similarity:Contains 1 FZ (frizzled) domain.,
