Summary: Predicted to enable iron chaperone activity; iron ion binding activity; and transferrin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; osteoclast differentiation; and positive regulation of bone resorption. Acts upstream of or within iron ion transport and response to bacterium. Located in clathrin-coated pit and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including blood; brain; liver; placenta; and white fat. Used to study atransferrinemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anemia (multiple); atransferrinemia; gastrointestinal system disease; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and restless legs syndrome. Orthologous to human TF (transferrin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
