Hhip Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable hedgehog family protein binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway and skeletal system morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial tube branching involved in lung morphogenesis; neuroblast proliferation; and regulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in cell surface and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Orthologous to human HHIP (hedgehog interacting protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hhip often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
