HEG1
heart development protein with EGF like domains 1 | HEG, KIAA1237

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]

HEG1 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating HEG1 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for HEG1. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = HEG1 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to HEG1

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of HEG1, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
