Suppressor of fused homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SUFU gene.

Function

SUFU encodes a component of the sonic hedgehog (SHH) / patched (PTCH) signaling pathway. Mutations in genes encoding components of this pathway are deleterious for normal development and are associated with cancer-predisposing syndromes (e.g., holoprosencephaly, HPE3; basal cell nevus syndrome, BCNS; and Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome; GCPS).

Interactions

SUFU has been shown to interact with GLI1, GLI3 and PEX26.
