Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
The Hedgehog signalling pathway. Positive regulators of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway are shown in green, whereas negative regulators are shown in red. Although many of the components seem to have both positive and negative activities under different conditions, the component is colour-coded according to its predominant activity. Components of the pathway that do not seem to be conserved between Drosophila and mammals are shown in ovals. This figure is intended to summarize the key concepts about Hh signalling discussed at this workshop, and is not intended to represent all the known components of the pathway.
