Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Function:** SLC11A2 is a transmembrane protein that functions as a ferrous iron transporter, responsible for importing iron into cells through the apical plasma membrane. 2. **Structure:** The protein consists of 12 transmembrane domains, which create a pore-like structure that allows iron ions to pass through. 3. **Expression:** SLC11A2 is highly expressed in cells involved in iron metabolism, including erythrocytes, renal principal cells, and pigmented epithelial cells. 4. **Regulation:** The protein is regulated by various mechanisms, including pH-dependent transport, which allows it to adapt to changes in the cellular environment. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Iron Uptake and Homeostasis:** SLC11A2 plays a critical role in maintaining iron homeostasis by regulating the uptake of iron into cells. 2. **Apical Plasma Membrane Transport:** The protein is transported to the apical plasma membrane, where it can bind and transport iron ions. 3. **Mitochondrial Iron Uptake:** SLC11A2 has been shown to facilitate the uptake of iron into mitochondria, which is essential for energy production. 4. **Immune Function:** The protein is also involved in the regulation of immune function, particularly in the context of iron-dependent immune responses. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Hypochromic Microcytic Anemia with Iron Overload (AHMIO1):** Mutations in the SLC11A2 gene have been implicated in this disorder, which is characterized by anemia, iron overload, and other complications. 2. **Iron-Dependent Disorders:** SLC11A2 dysfunction has been linked to various iron-dependent disorders, including hemochromatosis and sideroblastic anemia. 3. **Cancer and Immune System:** The protein's role in immune function and iron metabolism makes it an important target for research in cancer and immunology. 4. **Nutritional and Environmental Factors:** SLC11A2 expression and function can be influenced by nutritional and environmental factors, such as iron supplements and exposure to heavy metals. In conclusion, SLC11A2 is a critical gene involved in iron uptake and homeostasis, and its dysfunction can lead to various disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the complexities of this gene and its role in human health and disease.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
