Summary: Enables Hsp70 protein binding activity and transferrin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including response to copper ion; response to manganese ion; and response to retinoic acid. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; extracellular space; and recycling endosome membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic recycling endosome membrane. Biomarker of duodenal ulcer; hepatocellular carcinoma; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; muscular atrophy; and nutrition disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast carcinoma; immunodeficiency 46; multiple myeloma; and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human TFRC (transferrin receptor).

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.
