Gene:
smoothened homolog (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
203803
Symbol:
SMO
Species:
1000
Description:
G protein-coupled receptor that probably associates with the patched protein (PTCH) to transduce the hedgehog's proteins signal. Binding of sonic hedgehog (SHH) to its receptor patched is thought to prevent normal inhibition by patched of smoothened (SMO).
