Smoothened
Hedgehog Pathway
Cyclopamine compound leads to cycloptic
lambs
Lee
Inhibition of the Hedgehog Pathway leads to
midline, neural tube, and limb deformities
Chiang
Simplified Overview of the Hedgehog
Pathway
SHH
PTCH-1
SMO
SUFU/PKA
GLI
SMO inhibits SUFU and PKA in order to
activate transcription factor, GLI
Sharpe
PTCH oxysterol pumping activity inhibits SMO
Corcoran
SMO is an oncogene within the Hedgehog Pathway.
SMO is a 24 kb gene with 12 exons located on the
distal arm of Chromosome 7
Xie
SMO is a seven-span transmembrane
G-protein coupled receptor
Wang
Activating mutations interfere with formation
of the polar pocket or PTCH-SMO interaction
Xie
Basal Cell Carcinoma is one of the most
common types of cancer, although rarely fatal
A direct SMO inhibitor, Vismodegib, has been
approved by the FDA for use
