Rabbit Anti-SLC40A1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
SLC40A1 may be involved in iron export from duodenal epithelial cells and also in transfer of iron between maternal and fetal circulation. It mediates iron efflux in the presence of a ferroxidase (hephaestin and/or ceruloplasmin). Defects in SLC40A1 are the cause of hemochromatosis type 4, an autosomal dominant iron-loading disorder characterized by early iron accumulation in reticuloendothelial cells and a marked increase in serum ferritin.
Function:
May be involved in iron export from duodenal epithelial cell and also in transfer of iron between maternal and fetal circulation. Mediates iron efflux in the presence of a ferroxidase (hephaestin and/or ceruloplasmin).
Subunit:
Belongs to the S1LC40A transporter family.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane. Localized to the basolateral membrane of polarized epithelial cells.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in placenta, intestine, muscle and spleen.
DISEASE:
Defects in SLC40A1 are the cause of hemochromatosis type 4 (HFE4) [MIM:606069]. HFE4 is an autosomal dominant iron-loading disorder characterized by early iron accumulation in reticuloendothelial cells and a marked increase in serum ferritin before elevation of the transferrin saturation.
Similarity:
Belongs to the ferroportin (FP) (TC 2.A.100) family. SLC40A subfamily.
