    GlossaryHedgehog signaling pathway (Hedgehog)

    regulates cell growth and development through protein-receptor interactions

    The Hedgehog signaling pathway is a crucial mechanism in developmental biology that regulates cell growth, differentiation, and tissue patterning. It involves the Hedgehog proteins binding to receptors on cell surfaces, which then trigger a cascade of intracellular events that influence gene expression. This pathway is essential for proper embryonic development and, when dysregulated, can lead to conditions such as cancer and congenital disorders.
