Description
Product Characteristics:
Mitoferrin1, SLC25A37, belongs to the mitochondrial carrier family and contains 3 Solcar repeats. It is a mitochondrial iron transporter that specifically mediates iron uptake in developing erythroid cells and plays an essential role in heme biosynthesis.
Synonyms: SLC25A37, HT015, MFRN, Mitochondrial iron transporter 1, Mitochondrial solute carrier protein, Mitoferrin1, Mitoferrin-1, MSC, MSCP, predicted protein of HQ2217, PRO1278, PRO1584, PRO2217, Solute carrier family 25 member 37.
Target Information: SLC25A37 is a solute carrier localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. It functions as an essential iron importer for the synthesis of mitochondrial heme and iron-sulfur clusters (summary by Chen et al., 2009 [PubMed 19805291]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2011]
