Schematic representation of Hedgehog signaling pathway. (A) In normal conditions SMO is inhibited by PTCH1 and no signals reach the nucleus to promote transcription. (B) In presence of either its ligand as Shh or mutated PTCH1, SMO is derepressed, promoting the transcription of Hh target genes by activation of SUFU/GLI1.
