Description
Product Characteristics: Mtvr-1, p90, TFR1, TFRC transferrin receptor (p90 CD71), TRFR,CD71 / Transferrin Receptor (TFRC)
Cellular localisation: Cell surface
Target Information: This gene encodes a cell surface receptor necessary for cellular iron uptake by the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis. This receptor is required for erythropoiesis and neurologic development. Mice that are deficient in this receptor show impaired erythroid development and abnormal iron homeostasis.
