About HEG1
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of Rho protein signal transduction; negative regulation of Rho-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and negative regulation of membrane permeability. Located in cell-cell junction. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
