GMP Human Sonic Hedgehog / Shh (C24II) Protein

Product Details

Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) is a morphogen protein that governs cell proliferation, patterning, and differentiation throughout the developing nervous system. During neural differentiation of stem cells, SHH signaling is indispensable for ventralization, specifying the identity of neural progenitor cells along the dorsal-ventral axis. It is particularly vital for generating ventral neuronal subtypes, including motor neurons from the spinal cord and midbrain dopaminergic neurons.
