Q

What haooens when shh is missing or blocked with an antibody

A

There is no floor plate plate or any ventral neurons including motor neurons

17
Q

What is the Shh receptor on the membrane

A

PTC which interacts with SMO

18
Q

What inhbits SMO g protein receptor

A

Unoccupied PTC

19
Q

What release SMO inhibiton

A

Binding of Shh to PTC

20
Q

What transcription factor is activated by activated SMO

A

Gli

21
Q

Signaling factors for gli proteins

A

Wnts

22
Q

What do gli proteins do after activated by SMO

A

Activate or repress the transcription of genes for ptc and homeodomain transcription factors

23
Q

What does gli do when it goes to domain

A

It represses to turn off gli and ptc
