Description: This gene encodes a member of the patched gene family. The patched protein is the receptor for sonic hedgehog, a secreted molecule implicated in the formation of embryonic structures and in tumorigenesis. This gene is shown to be mutated in a medulloblastoma and in a basal cell carcinoma, suggesting that it plays a role in the development of some tumors. Alternative transcript variants have been described, but their biological function has not been determined.
