About Dhh

Summary

Enables patched binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Leydig cell differentiation; male sex determination; and osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; gut; heart and pericardium; nervous system; and yolk sac. Used to study 46,XY sex reversal. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal and 46,XY sex reversal 7. Orthologous to human DHH (desert Hedgehog signaling molecule).
