Transmembrane receptor Patched regulates several developmental processes in both invertebrate and vertebrates. In higher vertebrates the patched (Ptc) also acts as tumor suppressor. The patched receptor signaling involves negatively regulating a GPCR, smoothened. The binding Hedgehog ligand to Ptc, removes the negative interaction of Ptc and allows the signaling by smoothened. It has been shown that Ptc D. melanogasater head development. During head morphogenesis in D. melanogaster Ptc ...
