GlossarySonic hedgehog

protein crucial for tissue growth and hair follicle development

Sonic hedgehog (SHH) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the growth and development of various tissues and organs in the body, including hair follicles. It is part of the hedgehog signaling pathway, which is essential for cell differentiation and tissue patterning during embryonic development. Mutations or disruptions in the SHH pathway can lead to developmental disorders and diseases.
