Gene information for SLC11A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4891
Official gene symbolSLC11A2
Full namesolute carrier family 11 (proton-coupled divalent metal ion transporters), member 2
Aliases,DCT1,DMT1,FLJ37416,NRAMP2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 11 protein family. The product of this gene transports divalent metals and is involved in iron absorption. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypochromic microcytic anemia with iron overload. A related solute carrier family 11 protein gene is located on chromosome 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
