- Description
- Predicted to have metal ion binding activity. Involved in hemoglobin biosynthetic process; iron ion transport; and response to bacterium. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including atransferrinemia; carcinoma (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); iron deficiency anemia; and restless legs syndrome. Is expressed in several structures, including ball; liver; ovary; renal system; and yolk syncytial layer. Orthologous to several human genes including TF (transferrin).
