Heme-binding protein 1 (HEBP1)
The protein contains 189 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 21097 Da.
May bind free porphyrinogens that may be present in the cell and thus facilitate removal of these potentially toxic compound. Binds with a high affinity to one molecule of heme or porphyrins. It binds metalloporphyrins, free porphyrins and N-methylprotoporphyrin with similar affinities. (updated: March 4, 2015)

CLONING
By EST database searching for homologs of the chicken Soul gene (605825), Zylka and Reppert (1999) identified mouse and human cDNAs encoding HBP and SOUL. Sequence analysis predicted that the 189-amino acid human HBP protein, which is 80% identical to the mouse sequence, contains a conserved hydrophobic heme-binding region not found in SOUL. Northern blot analysis detected a 1.5-kb Hbp transcript in mouse liver.GENE FUNCTION
By screening organ extracts on cell lines expressing FPRL2 (136539), Migeotte et al. (2005) isolated F2L (FPRL2 ligand) from spleen. F2L is an acetylated 21-amino acid peptide derived from the N terminus of intracellular HBP. F2L bound and activated FPRL2 in the nanomolar range, triggering intracellular calcium release, inhibition of cAMP accumulation, and phosphorylation of MAP kinases. Testing on monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells showed that F2L promoted calcium mobilization and chemotaxis. Migeotte et al. (2005) concluded that F2L is a natural chemoattractant peptide for dendritic cells and monocytes and is specific for FPRL2.MAPPING
The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the HEBP gene to chromosome 12 (TMAP stSG28810). ... More on the omim web site
