Other Information

**Key Characteristics** 1. **Receptor Function**: SMO acts as a receptor for the Hedgehog ligands, SHH and other related proteins, which bind to the extracellular domain of the receptor. 2. **Signaling Pathway**: The binding of SHH to SMO activates the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which involves the activation of G-proteins and the subsequent modulation of gene expression. 3. **Cellular Localization**: SMO is primarily found on the plasma membrane, where it interacts with SHH and other ligands. 4. **Expression Patterns**: SMO is highly expressed in various cell types, including epithelial cells, neurons, and glial cells, and is involved in numerous biological processes. **Pathways and Functions** The SMO gene is involved in various signaling pathways, including: 1. **Hedgehog Signaling Pathway**: The SMO-HH interaction activates the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which regulates embryonic development, tissue patterning, and organogenesis. 2. **Apoptotic Process**: SMO is involved in regulating apoptosis, particularly in the context of Hedgehog signaling. 3. **Cell Fate Specification**: SMO plays a role in regulating cell fate specification, particularly in the context of neural development and differentiation. 4. **Cell Migration**: SMO is involved in regulating cell migration, particularly in the context of neural crest cell migration and axon guidance. 5. **Differentiation**: SMO is involved in regulating differentiation, particularly in the context of neuronal differentiation and organogenesis. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of the SMO gene has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Neurological Disorders**: Mutations in the SMO gene have been associated with neurological disorders, such as holoprosencephaly and other craniofacial abnormalities. 2. **Cancer**: The SMO gene has been implicated in the development and progression of various cancers, including medulloblastoma and other gliomas. 3. **Developmental Abnormalities**: Mutations in the SMO gene have been associated with developmental abnormalities, such as limb abnormalities and other congenital malformations. In conclusion, the SMO gene plays a critical role in regulating various cellular processes, including development, cell fate specification, and signaling pathways. Dysregulation of the SMO gene has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of this gene in human health and disease.
