HEG1

HEG1, also known as HEPG1 or heart endothelial glial-like 1, encodes a protein that plays crucial roles in various biological processes. This protein is involved in angiogenesis and vascular development. It functions by interacting with key regulatory molecules. The associated signaling pathways mainly include those related to cell adhesion and migration.
Dysregulation of HEG1 has been linked to certain cardiovascular diseases. In drug development, HEG1 is considered a potential therapeutic target. Researchers are exploring drugs that can modulate its activity, aiming to treat vascular - related disorders and improve patient outcomes. Ongoing studies are focused on understanding its detailed mechanisms to develop more effective drugs.
