Model of the involvement of oxysterols in Hh signalling. Left panel, in the absence of extracellular SHH or oxysterols PTCH1 inhibits SMO and the Hh signal is not transmitted across the membrane. Right panel, SHH relives the inhibition by PTCH1 on SMO and oxysterols bind to SMO leading to activation of GLI target genes.
