Anti-Human DHH Polyclonal Antibody

Desert hedgehog protein (DHH) is a ~43 kDa protein. The C-terminal part of the desert hedgehog protein precursor displays an autoproteolysis and a cholesterol transferase activity. Both activities result in the cleavage of the full-length protein into two parts (N-product and C-product) followed by the covalent attachment of a cholesterol moiety to the C-terminal of the newly generated N-product (DHH-N). Both activities occur in the endoplasmic reticulum. Once cleaved, the C-product is degraded in the endoplasmic reticulum. Functions in cell-cell mediated juxtacrine signaling.
