Structural insights into the role of the Smoothened cysteine-rich domain in Hedgehog signalling

Smoothened (Smo) is a member of the Frizzled (FzD) class of G-protein-coupled-receptors (GPCRs), and functions as the key transducer in the Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway. Smo has an extracellular cysteine-rich domain (CRD), indispensable for its function and downstream Hh signalling. Despite its...
