SUFU SUFU negative regulator of hedgehog signaling

Gene ID: 51684, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BCNS2; SUFUH; JBTS32; SUFUXL; PRO1280

Summary

The Hedgehog signaling pathway plays an important role in early human development. The pathway is a signaling cascade that plays a role in pattern formation and cellular proliferation during development. This gene encodes a negative regulator of the hedgehog signaling pathway. Defects in this gene are a cause of medulloblastoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
