Entrez gene ID4241
Official gene symbolMFI2
Full nameantigen p97 (melanoma associated) identified by monoclonal antibodies 133.2 and 96.5
Aliases,CD228,FLJ38863,MAP97,MGC4856,MTF1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein found on melanoma cells. The protein shares sequence similarity and iron-binding properties with members of the transferrin superfamily. The importance of the iron binding function has not yet been identified. This gene resides in the same region of chromosome 3 as members of the transferrin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
