HECA
Description
The HECA (hdc homolog, cell cycle regulator) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.
HECA can refer to several things, but in the context of human genes, it usually refers to Headcase protein homolog (hHDC). It is believed to be involved in the development of some cancers and the formation of epithelial tube networks.
HECA may play a significant role in the development of certain cancers and could be involved in the regulation of epithelial tube network formation, impacting the development of systems like the circulatory system and lungs.
HECA is also known as HDC, HDCL, HHDC, dJ225E12.1.
