Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Indian hedgehog homolog (Drosophila ), also known as IHH , is a protein which in humans is encoded by the IHH gene .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] This cell signaling protein is in the hedgehog signaling pathway . The several mammalian variants of the Drosophila hedgehog gene (which was the first named ) have been named after the various species of hedgehog ; the Indian hedgehog is honored by this one. The gene is not specific to Indian hedgehogs.
