Hedgehog signaling is a complex signaling pathway that plays a crucial role in embryonic development and tissue regeneration in various organisms. It regulates cell growth, differentiation, and cell fate determination. Dysregulation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway has been linked to various developmental disorders, birth defects, and cancers. The pathway involves the binding of Hedgehog proteins to receptors on target cells, which triggers a series of intracellular signaling events that ultimately influence gene expression and cell behavior. Understanding the mechanisms of Hedgehog signaling is important for developing potential therapeutic targets for treating diseases associated with pathway dysregulation.
