Yep and a lot of people get it wrong. It's not the "Sonic the Hedgehog protein" but "Sonic hedgehog protein", as in hedgehog protein that is Sonic. It's clearly distinct in meaning, and therefore completely different. As the original discoverer of the gene put it, "original protein name, do not steal".

You're forgetting that it has an inhibitor named Robotnikinin

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
