Introduction to Hedgehog Signaling: Hedgehog Protein Synthesis and Release

The video tutorial explains the synthesis and release of hedgehog proteins, which are crucial in the Hedgehog signaling pathway involved in embryological development. It covers the synthesis of these proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, their modification with cholesterol and palmitic acid, and their export to the plasma membrane. The video also details four mechanisms by which hedgehog proteins are released from the cell, including interactions with other proteins and release as soluble multimers or within vesicles.
