Hedgehog regulation of testicular functions. Sertoli cells (SCs) express DHH and the downstream HH signaling molecules are expressed in the Leydig cells (LCs). DHH secreted from the SCs act of LCs to induce proliferation and differentiation. In response to DHH signaling, LCs initiate steroidogenesis and secrete testosterone.
