Function This gene encodes a member of the Hedgehog family. The hedgehog gene family encodes signaling molecules that play an important role in regulating morphogenesis . This protein is predicted to be made as a precursor that is autocatalysis autocatalytically cleaved the N terminus N terminal portion is soluble and contains the signalling activity while the C terminus C terminal portion is involved in precursor processing. More importantly, the C terminal product covalently attaches a cholesterol moiety to the N terminal product, restricting the N terminal product to the cell surface and preventing it from freely diffusing throughout the organism. Defects in this protein have been associated with partial gonadal dysgenesis PGD accompanied ... and perineurium perineurial development. ref name entrez cite web title Entrez Gene desert hedgehog ..., human Hedgehog signaling pathway NLM content gene 12 stub ... more details

In mathematics , a hedgehog space is a topological space , consisting of a set of spines joined at a point. For any cardinal number math K math , the math K math hedgehog space is formed by taking the disjoint union of math K math real unit interval s identified at the origin. Each unit interval is referred to as one of the hedgehog s spines. A math K math hedgehog space is sometimes called a hedgehog space of spininess math K math . The hedgehog space is a metric space , when endowed with the hedgehog metric math d x,y x y math if math x math and math y math lie in the same spine, and by math d x,y x y math if math x math and math y math lie in different spines. Although their disjoint union makes the origins of the intervals distinct, the metric identifies them by assigning them 0 distance. Hedgehog spaces are examples of real tree s. ref name carlisle harvtxt Carlisle 2007 . ref Paris metric This section is linked from French railroad metric The metric on the plane geometry plane in which the distance between any two points is their Euclidean distance when the two points belong to a Line mathematics Ray ray though the origin, and is otherwise the sum of the distances of the two points from the origin, is sometimes called the Paris metric ref name carlisle because navigation in this metric resembles that in the radial street plan of Paris . The Paris metric, restricted to the unit disk , is a hedgehog space where K is the cardinality of the continuum .

The journal features Critical thinking critical writing about cultural identity , citizenship , cultural change , and cultural diversity . Each issue adopts a theme, which the articles address in the form of essay s, interview s, annotated Bibliography bibliographies , and the like. The Greek lyricist Archilochus provided the inspiration for the name of the journal, when he wrote this aphorism The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing. Part of the journal s mission statement is to strive for both the breadth of the fox and the depth of the hedgehog.
