Shh proteins

SHH (Sonic Hedgehog) proteins are signaling molecules that play a critical role in embryonic development, helping guide the growth and organization of cells to form tissues and organs. They act like communication signals between cells, telling them where to move, grow, or specialize. SHH proteins are essential for proper limb formation, brain development, and the shaping of other body parts. If these signals are disrupted, it can lead to developmental abnormalities or diseases. Overall, SHH proteins are important messengers that ensure complex biological patterns form correctly during early development.
