Target intelligence / Profile preview

Highly expressed in cancer 1 (HEC1)

Target
HEC1
Molecular classification
Kinetochore protein, Structural protein
01

Overview

Highly expressed in cancer protein 1 (Hec1), a subunit of the Ndc80 complex, is crucial for kinetochore-microtubule attachment and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Overexpression of Hec1 is frequently observed in various cancers and contributes to chromosomal instability, making it a promising target for anticancer therapy.

Other names
NDC80 homolog, kinetochore complex componentNDC80
