HECA( Human )
hdc homolog, cell cycle regulator
Alias
HDC|HDCL|HHDC|dJ225E12.1
This gene encodes the homolog of the Drosophila headcase protein, a highly basic, cytoplasmic protein that regulates the re-entry of imaginal cells into the mitotic cycle during adult morphogenesis. In Drosophila, the encoded protein also inhibits terminal branching of neighboring cells during tracheal development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
