Preparation and Storage

Background: Patched 1/PTCH

Patched is a 170‑175 kDa member of the patched family of proteins. It is found on multiple cells types and forms a constitutive, inactivating complex with Smoothened. Upon SHH binding to Patched, Smoothened is released and initiates downstream signaling. Mouse Patched is a 12 transmembrane, 1434 amino acid (aa) glycoprotein that contains two terminal cytoplasmic domains. Only one mRNA species for Patched has been reported in mice. However, it would appear likely that two or more splice forms exist, with variation occurring over the first 150 aa of the N-terminus. Over aa 108‑422, mouse Patched shares 97% and 99% aa sequence identity with human and rat Patched, respectively.
