Transmembrane receptor Patched regulates several developmental processes in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In higher vertebrates the patched (Ptc) also acts as a tumor suppressor. The patched receptor signaling involves negatively regulating a GPCR, smoothened. The binding Hedgehog ligand to Ptc removes the negative interaction of Ptc, and allows the signaling by smoothened. It has been shown that during head morphogenesis in D. melanogaster, Ptc positively interacts with smoothened, which leads to stimulation of Activin type 1 receptor Baboon, and activation of cell proliferation in the eye antennal disc. The expression of activated Baboon in the Ptc domain in Ptc mutant background completely abolish the head developmental defects.
