HHIPL1

HHIPL1, also known as Hedgehog-interacting protein-like 1, is a protein encoded by the HHIPL1 gene in humans. The gene is located on chromosome 4q31.21.

HHIPL1 is believed to be involved in several biological processes, including cell adhesion and potentially in the regulation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, a critical pathway involved in embryonic development and tumorigenesis. Research suggests that HHIPL1 may interact with components of the Hedgehog pathway, potentially modulating its activity. However, its exact role and mechanism of action are not fully understood.

Studies have shown that HHIPL1 expression is altered in various cancers, suggesting a potential role in cancer development and progression. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the function of HHIPL1 and its potential as a therapeutic target.
