Hedgehog-Interacting Protein is a multimodal antagonist of Hedgehog signalling
Abstract
Hedgehog-Interacting Protein (HHIP) is the only reported secreted inhibitor of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signalling. Here, the authors report structures of the HHIP N- and C-terminal domains, both in complexes with glycosaminoglycans, providing insights into the molecular basis for SHH sequestration and inhibition.
