The SCIENCE is unquestionable. Let me guess: phenylalanine? It's one of the twenty-three amino acids that make up protein and its effect is like a small dose of amphetaminnnnnnnne.

So, what is the usual name? I'm interested.

It doesn't have an older, normal name, that's it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_hedgehog_protein

I had no idea all that was not a parody. Thank you Mr. Muskrat.

Who let these clowns name the protein this....I don't wanna see a protein named for intellectual properties ever again

Then discover them yourself and name them yourself. Otherwise don't be so arrogant.

Arrogant? This has nothing to do with me feeling self important, it's me imagining science textbooks of the future where every naturally existing thing is sponsored by a corporation and named after an intellectual property. I'd really hate to see that become a thing. Sonic The Hedgehog is a registered trademark of Sega coroporation, it doesnt belong in a science textbook
