Hedgehog

Scientific explanation

Hedgehog–GLI signalling patterns development and can support basal-cell and some stromal/stem-like tumour programmes. Ligand-dependent stromal Hedgehog is distinct from mutation-driven ligand-independent activation.

Cancers where relevant

Compounds that intersect this pathway

Itraconazole

Azole antifungal; off-target reports include Hedgehog-pathway antagonism and anti-angiogenic endothelial effects in experimental and early clinical settings. Not a licensed antineoplastic.
