摘要:
The present invention makes availables assays and reagents inhibiting paracrine and/or autocrine signals produced by a hedgehog protein or aberrant activation of a hedgehog signal transduction pathway, e.g., which involve the use of a steroidal alkaloid or other small molecule.

摘要:
The present invention sterol-modified hedgehog polypeptides and functional fragments thereof. Methods of identifying compositions which affect hedgehog activity based on inhibition of cholesterol modification of hedgehog protein are described. In one aspect of the invention, the method provides a means for affecting cholesterol biosynthesis or transport in a cell comprising contacting a cell with an effective amount of a compound that affects hedgehog, thereby affecting cholesterol biosynthesis or transport. The effect may be inhibition or stimulation of cholesterol biosynthesis or transport.

The present invention makes availables assays and reagents inhibiting paracrine and/or autocrine signals produced by a hedgehog protein comprising contacting a cell sensitive to the hedgehog protein with a steroidal alkaloid, or other small molecule, in a sufficient amount to reduce the sensitivity of the cell to the hedgehog protein.
