  • Nucleic acids encoding hedgehog proteins
    Patent number: 6664075
    Abstract: The present invention concerns the discovery that proteins encoded by a family of vertebrate genes, termed here hedgehog-related genes, comprise morphogenic signals produced by tissue patterning centers, and are involved in the formation of ordered spatial arrangements of differentiated tissues in vertebrates. The present invention makes available compositions and methods that can be utilized, for example to generate and/or maintain an array of different vertebrate tissue both in vitro and in vivo.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2000
    Date of Patent: December 16, 2003
    Assignees: President and Fellows of Harvard College, Imperial Cancer Research Technology Ltd.
    Inventors: Philip W. Ingham, Andrew P. McMahon, Clifford J. Tabin, David A. Bumcrot, Elisa Marti-Gorostiza
