This study demonstrates the importance of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) palmitoylation in mouse development, by examining both a knockout of the palmitoyltransferase gene Skn and a knockin of a cys-to-ser mutation in Shh that prevents its palmitoylation.
The paper also shows that Shh lacking lipid modifications cannot form a multimeric...
