HEBP1 Proteins and Enzymes

HEBP1, also known as Heme-binding protein 1, is a 189 amino acid that is approx. 21 kDa, contains a natural chemoattractant peptide of 21 amino acids at the N-terminus, which is a natural ligand for formyl peptide receptor-like receptor 2 (FPRL2) and stimulates calcium mobilization and chemotaxis in monocytes and dendritic cells; capable of binding free porphyrinogens and thus facilitates removal of these potentially toxic compound; heme or porphyrins; metalloporphyrins, free porphyrins and ...
