    GlossarySmoothened Receptor

    protein involved in Hedgehog signaling pathway for cell growth

    The Smoothened Receptor (SMO) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, which is important for regulating cell growth and development. When activated, SMO helps transmit signals from the cell surface to the inside of the cell, influencing processes like tissue patterning and stem cell maintenance. Malfunctions in this pathway can lead to developmental disorders and cancers.
