Gene name

TFR2

Description

transferrin receptor 2

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Peptidases, Potential transmembrane proteins

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a single-pass type II membrane protein, which is a member of the transferrin receptor-like family. This protein mediates cellular uptake of transferrin-bound iron, and may be involved in iron metabolism, hepatocyte function and erythrocyte differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary hemochromatosis type III. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
