2.A.6.9.1
Dispatched is an exporter of the amino-terminal portion (19 kDa) of the C-terminally cholesterol-modified peptide, hedgehog; sterol sensor protein (Ma et al., 2002). Loss prevents hedgehog signaling. (Nakano et al., 2004; Higgins, 2007). The intracellular movement of this Hedgehog signal is complex, and involves insertion into the apical cell membrane, followed by endocytosis, and then secretion at the basolateral membrane by Dispatched (Nikaido 2018). Dispatched shows a typical RND protein folding pattern, although its overall sequence similarity to Patched or NPC1 is low. However, it contains the typical sterol sensing domain,  similar to those found in NPC1 as well as in Patched. Hedgehog anchored by glycosylphophatidylinositol, rather than cholesterol, was not exported by Dispatched, suggesting that the cholesterol anchor is recognized by the transporter. Finally, the secretion of Hedgehog by Dispatched across the membrane requires help by other proteins, including a secreted soluble protein called Scube (Nikaido 2018).
