PTCH2 / Unconjugated /

Product Details

Description	Rabbit polyclonal to PTCH2. PTCH2(patched 2), also known as PTC2, encodes a 1.203-amino acid putative transmembrane protein that is highly homologous to the PTCH product. The Patched-hedgehog signaling pathway is involved in establishing segment polarity and the anterior-posterior orientation of a number of developing appendages. The pathway is conserved from fly to vertebrates and has been implicated in a number of human neoplasms and developmental syndromes. Mutations in the human Patched gene are the basis of the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. With age, homozygous mutant male mice developed skin lesions consisting of alopecia and epidermal hyperplasia, suggesting a role for Ptch2 in adult epidermal homeostasis via Shh signaling. -

About PTCH2
This gene encodes a transmembrane receptor of the patched gene family. The encoded protein may function as a tumor suppressor in the hedgehog signaling pathway. Alterations in this gene have been associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, basal cell carcinoma, medulloblastoma, and susceptibility to congenital macrostomia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
