Summary
Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity; endopeptidase activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within nematode male tail mating organ morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in excretory duct and excretory pore. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including 46,XY sex reversal (multiple); Hirschsprung's disease; bone development disease (multiple); holoprosencephaly (multiple); and polydactyly (multiple). Orthologous to human IHH (Indian hedgehog signaling molecule); DHH (desert hedgehog signaling molecule); and SHH (sonic hedgehog signaling molecule).
