SMO
Overview
SMO (smoothened, frizzled class receptor) is a gene that encodes smoothened homolog, a transmembrane receptor protein that delivers signals from Hedgehog ligands to cells. Mutations in SMO that lead to constitutive activation of SMO are known to play a role in carcinogenesis of basal cell carcinoma, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma (PMID: 21679342).
