title: Model of the reception of hedgehog morphogen concentration gradient: comparison with an extended range of experimental data.
abstract: The model for reception of the concentration gradient of the Hedgehog morphogen has been developed. The mechanism of co-operation of the proteins Patched, Smoothened, and Hedgehog is theoretically analyzed in terms of different versions of interactions within this group of proteins. The parametric stability of the modeled system is considered.
