Background
The 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, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Involved in iron cellular uptake. Seems to be internalized and then recycled back to the cell membrane. Binds a single atom of iron per subunit. Could also bind zinc.,similarity:Belongs to the transferrin family.,similarity:Contains 2 transferrin-like domains.,tissue specificity:Found predominantly in human melanomas and in certain fetal tissues; also found in liver, epithelium, umbilical chord, placenta and sweat gland ducts.,
