The patched protein is the receptor for sonic hedgehog, a secreted molecule implicated in the formation of embryonic structures and in tumorigenesis.
The gene encoding PTCH2 is shown to be mutated in a medulloblastoma and in a basal cell carcinoma, suggesting that it plays a role in the development of some tumors.
This gene encodes a member of the patched gene family.
