Details for messenger / hormone: DHH

EndoNet ID: ENH00529

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be: 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like

General information

  • Schwann cell-derived Desert hedgehog controls the development of peripheral nerve sheaths. [1]
  • The three mammalian Hh proteins, Sonic (Shh), Indian (Ihh), and Desert (Dhh) hedgehog, are produced by thymic epithelial cells. [2]
  • Dhh expression is initiated in Sertoli cell precursors shortly after the activation of Sry and persists in the testis into the adult. [3]
  • Dhh regulates both early and late stages of spermatogenesis. [3]
