It is the molecular target of the teratogen cyclopamine.2 Cellular localization plays an essential role in the function of SMO. Stimulation of the patched receptor by the sonic hedgehog ligand leads to translocation of SMO to the primary cilium. Furthermore, SMO that is mutated in the domain required for ciliary localisation cannot contribute to pathway activation.3 SMO has also been shown to bind the kinesin motor protein Costal-2 and play a role in the localization of the Ci Cubitus interruptus transcription factor complex.4 SMO can function as an oncogene. Activating SMO mutations can lead to unregulated activation of the hedgehog pathway and cancer.5 Contents 1 See also 2 References 3 Further reading 4 External links See also Frizzled References ^ Ruiz-Gómez A, Molnar C, Holguín H, Mayor F, de Celis JF 2007.
