Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * IREB2 is a protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. * It is expressed in high levels in neurons and other cell types that are involved in iron metabolism. * IREB2 contains a conserved iron-responsive element (IREB) that is responsible for its regulation. * IREB2 is a key regulator of iron uptake, storage, and transport. * It is also involved in the regulation of cellular differentiation and proliferation. **Pathways and functions:** * IREB2 is involved in the regulation of iron uptake by binding to the ferritin complex on the surface of red blood cells. * It also binds to the transferrin receptor on the surface of endothelial cells, which is responsible for the uptake of iron from the blood. * IREB2 is involved in the regulation of cellular respiration. * It is also involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis. * IREB2 is a key regulator of erythropoiesis. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the IREB2 gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including hemochromatosis, siderocytosis, and iron-deficiency anemia. * IREB2 is a potential target for the treatment of these diseases. **Additional notes:** * IREB2 is a highly conserved protein that is found in organisms from yeast to humans. * It is a key regulator of the expression of other genes involved in iron metabolism. * IREB2 is a promising target for the treatment of a variety of diseases that are caused by iron deficiency or excess.
