      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”.
