| UniProt functional annotation for Q96QV1 | |||
| UniProt code: Q96QV1. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Modulates hedgehog signaling in several cell types including brain and lung through direct interaction with members of the hedgehog family. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11472839, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19561609}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with all three hedgehog family members, SHH, IHH and DHH. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11472839, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19561609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19561611}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Note=The last 22 C- terminal amino acids may participate in cell membrane attachment. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Widely expressed in fetal and adult tissues. Highest expression in adult heart, liver and pancreas, and in fetal kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11435703, ECO:0000269|Ref.1}. | |
| Domain: | A flexible loop interacts with the SHH zinc binding site and contributes to zinc binding. | |
| Polymorphism: | Genetic variations in HHIP define the stature quantitative trait locus 12 (STQTL12) [MIM:612224]. Adult height is an easily observable and highly heritable complex continuous trait. Because of this, it is a model trait for studying genetic influence on quantitative traits. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18391950}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform 2]: Potentially soluble form. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the HHIP family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAB14945.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
