Tissue Specificity
Ubiquitously expressed. Expressed in erythroid progenitors.
Cellular Localization
Cell membrane, Endosome, Golgi apparatus, Lysosome and Membrane.
Function
Essential for maintenance of iron homeostasis by modulating intestinal absorption of dietary Fe2+ and TF-associated endosomal Fe2+ transport in erythroid precursors and other cells (By similarity).
Enables Fe2+ and Mn2+ ion entry into mitochondria, and is thus expected to promote mitochondrial heme synthesis, iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis and antioxidant defense (PubMed:24448823) (By similarity).
Can mediate uncoupled fluxes of either protons or metal ions.
Disease Area
Anemia, hypochromic microcytic, with iron overload 1 (AHMIO1), a hematologic disease characterized by abnormal hemoglobin content in the erythrocytes which are reduced in size. The disorder is due to an error of iron metabolism that results in high serum iron, massive hepatic iron deposition, and absence of sideroblasts and stainable bone marrow iron store. Despite adequate transferrin-iron complex, delivery of iron to the erythroid bone marrow is apparently insufficient for the demands of hemoglobin synthesis.
