Other Information

Description

**Key characteristics:** - It is a pseudogene, meaning it is not directly coding for a functional protein. - It is alternatively activated in different cell types. - It is involved in iron storage and transport. **Pathways and functions:** - It is involved in the regulation of iron levels in the body. - It is expressed in macrophages and other cells that are involved in the phagocytosis of iron. - It is also expressed in cells that are involved in iron storage, such as red blood cells and liver cells. - It is involved in the regulation of inflammation. - It is also involved in the regulation of cell migration and differentiation. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in FTH1P2 have been linked to several human diseases, including hemochromatosis, an iron overload disorder. - FTH1P2 is a potential therapeutic target for these diseases. **Additional notes:** - It is a large gene, with a length of approximately 4000 nucleotides. - It contains multiple alternatively spliced transcripts that encode different isoforms of the FTH1 protein. - It is a highly conserved gene, with a similar sequence in mammals.
