Background: Sonic HedgeHog; also known as sonic hedgehog protein; belongs to the hedgehog family. It cannot be detected in adult tissues while can be found in fetal intestine; liver; lung; and kidney. Sonic HedgeHog is a protein that is vital in guding the early embryo. It has been associated as the major inductive signal in patterning of the ventral neural tube; the anterior-posterior limb axis; and the ventral somites. Sonic HedgeHog intercellular signal is essential for a various patterning events during development: signal produced by the notochord that induces ventral cell fate in the neural tube and somites; and the polarizing signal for patterning of the anterior-posterior axis of the developing limb bud. Sonic HedgeHog binds to the patched receptor; which functions in association with smoothened; to activate the transcription of target genes. In the absence of sonic HedgeHog; patched receptor represses the constitutive signaling activity of smoothened. Sonic HedgeHog also regulates another factor; the gli oncogene. Defects in sonic hedgehog can cause microphthalmia isolated with coloboma type 5; triphalangeal thumb-polysyndactyly syndrome and holoprosencephaly type 3.

Concentration:

Activity: Measured by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by C3H10T1/2 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 2-10 μg/mL.

Sequence: Met 1-Gly 197

Purity: > 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Formulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
Normally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.

Reconstitution: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.

Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Calculated MW: 21 kDa

ObservedMW: 24 kDa
