Gene information for TFR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7036
Official gene symbolTFR2
Full nametransferrin receptor 2
Aliases,HFE3,MGC126368,TFRC2,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the transferrin receptor-like family and encodes a single-pass type II membrane protein with a protease associated (PA) domain, an M28 peptidase domain and a transferrin receptor-like dimerization domain. This protein mediates cellular uptake of transferrin-bound iron and mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary hemochromatosis type III. Alternatively spliced variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described; however, not all variants have been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
