IHH (protein)

Indian hedgehog homolog (Drosophila), also known as IHH, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the IHH is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The Indian hedgehog protein is one of three is_associated_with::proteins in the is_associated_with::mammalian hedgehog family, the others being desert hedgehog (DHH) and is_associated_with::sonic hedgehog (SHH). It is involved in is_associated_with::chondrocyte differentiation, proliferation and maturation especially during is_associated_with::endochondral ossification. It regulates its effects by feedback control of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP).
