Hedgehog: functions and mechanisms
Open accessAbstract
The Hedgehog (Hh) family of proteins control cell growth, survival, and fate, and pattern almost every aspect of the vertebrate body plan. The use of a single morphogen for such a wide variety of functions is possible because cellular responses to Hh depend on the type of responding cell, the dose of Hh received, and the time cells are exposed to Hh. The Hh gradient is shaped by several proteins that are specifically required for Hh processing, secretion, and transport through tissues. The mechanism of cellular response, in turn, incorporates multiple feedback loops that fine-tune the level of signal sensed by the responding cells. Germline mutations that subtly affect Hh pathway activity are associated with developmental disorders, whereas somatic mutations activating the pathway have been linked to multiple forms of human cancer. This review focuses broadly on our current understanding of Hh signaling, from mechanisms of action to cellular and developmental functions. In addition, we review the role of Hh in the pathogenesis of human disease and the possibilities for therapeutic intervention.

In mammals, the canonical Shh signaling pathway requires primary cilia.
“In mammals, this canonical Shh signaling pathway requires primary cilia [25, 29–34].”
From Amyloid-β interrupts canonical Sonic hedgehog signaling by distorting primary cilia structure (2018) · cites this paper as [25]
In “Divergence of pathway components and mechanisms” (page not supplied), the paper says mammalian Hh signaling depends on components involved in forming primary cilia. It also says those components might be needed for another microtubule-linked process and that whether ciliary localization is required remains unresolved. Thus, the source does not establish the categorical claim that the pathway requires primary cilia themselves. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe canonical Shh signaling cascade relies on the primary cilium for signal transduction.
“The canonical Shh signaling cascade relies on the primary cilium for signal transduction [25, 29–34].”
From Amyloid-β interrupts canonical Sonic hedgehog signaling by distorting primary cilia structure (2018) · cites this paper as [25]
The “Divergence of pathway components and mechanisms” section says mammalian Hh signaling depends on components involved in forming primary cilia. It also explicitly says that whether localization to cilia is required for signaling remains to be established, so the categorical claim that the cascade relies on the primary cilium overstates the paper. Page numbers were not provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in development and neurogenesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
