| Formulation | Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS. | |
| Reconstitution | It is recommended that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized powder in ddH₂O or PBS up to 100 μg/ml. | |
| Storage & Stability | Upon receiving, this product remains stable for up to 6 months at lower than -70°C. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended that a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Target Background | Desert hedgehog protein (DHH) is a member of the Hedgehog family which encodes signaling molecules that play an important role in regulating morphogenesis. It is predicted to be made as a precursor that is auto-catalytically cleaved; the N-terminal portion is soluble and contains the signaling activity while the C-terminal portion is involved in precursor processing. More importantly, the C-terminal product covalently attaches a cholesterol moiety to the N-terminal product, restricting the N-terminal product to the cell surface and preventing it from freely diffusing throughout the organism. Defects in this protein have been associated with partial gonadal dysgenesis (PGD) accompanied by minifascicular polyneuropathy. DHH may be involved in both male gonadal differentiation and perineurial development. DHH binds both Patched and Patched 2 as well as Hedgehog interacting protein (Hip). It induces steroidogenicfactor 1(SF1), which is instrumental in promoting Leydig cell differentiation. It also promotes the deposition of basal lamina surrounding seminiferous tubules. |
