Protein patched homolog 1 (PTCH1) is the receptor for secreted sonic hedgehog ligand and belongs to the patched gene family. It is mapped to human chromosome 9q22.32. Ptch1 has 12 transmembrane regions, intracellular middle-loop domain (MLD) and C-terminal domain (CTD) essential for oligomerization.
Synonyms: Anti-Patched homolog 1 (Drosophila)
Storage: -20C

Biochem Physiol Actions: PTCH1 (patched 1; PTC) activates the sonic hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway that is involved in the development of embryonic structures. PTCH1 is a tumor suppressor that maintains the activity of GLI1, the downstream target of Hh signaling. Mutations and methylation status in PTCH1 gene result in tumorigenesis and malignancy in cancers including colorectal, gastric, melanoma and osteosarcoma.
