TALPID3 is a family of eukaryotic proteins that are targets for Hedgehog signalling. Mutations in this gene noticed first in chickens lead to multiple abnormalities of development.

1: The chicken talpid3 gene encodes a novel protein essential for Hedgehog signaling. Davey MG, Paton IR, Yin Y, Schmidt M, Bangs FK, Morrice DR, Smith TG, Buxton P, Stamataki D, Tanaka M, Munsterberg AE, Briscoe J, Tickle C, Burt DW; Genes Dev. 2006;20:1365-1377. PMID:16702409

2: The Talpid3 gene (KIAA0586) encodes a centrosomal protein that is essential for primary cilia formation. Yin Y, Bangs F, Paton IR, Prescott A, James J, Davey MG, Whitley P, Genikhovich G, Technau U, Burt DW, Tickle C; Development. 2009;136:655-664. PMID:19144723

3: Targeted mutation of the talpid3 gene in zebrafish reveals its conserved requirement for ciliogenesis and Hedgehog signalling across the vertebrates. Ben J, Elworthy S, Ng AS, van Eeden F, Ingham PW; Development. 2011;138:4969-4978. PMID:22028029
