Banded hh |
CXLchr24a |

abbr. Bhh; banded hh, also: X-bhh. This is the Xenopus laevis homolog of IHH [Indian hedgehog], which itself is the counterpart of the Drosophila melanogaster gene Hedgehog. Banded hedgehog is expressed throughout the neural plate and subsequently in both the nervous system and in the dermatome of somites (Ekker et al, 1995).
For an expression profile analysis see: Moriishi et al (2005).
Agüero et al (2012) have reported that banded hedgehog signaling is required for proper formation, maintenance and migration of Xenopus neural crest.
