HEBP1

Heme binding protein 1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the HEBP1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The full-length protein encoded by this gene is an intracellular is_associated_with::tetrapyrrole-binding protein. This protein includes a natural is_associated_with::chemoattractant peptide of 21 amino acids at the is_associated_with::N-terminus, which is a natural ligand for formyl peptide receptor-like receptor 2 (is_associated_with::FPRL2) and promotes calcium mobilization and is_associated_with::chemotaxis in is_associated_with::monocytes and is_associated_with::dendritic cells.
