Tsf3 | Transferrin; Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which bind Fe(3+) ion in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. (714 aa) | ||||
mfrn | Mitoferrin; Mitochondrial iron transporter that mediates iron uptake. Probably required for heme synthesis of hemoproteins and Fe-S cluster assembly; Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family. (379 aa) | ||||
fh | Frataxin homolog, mitochondrial; Promotes the biosynthesis of heme as well as the assembly and repair of iron-sulfur clusters by delivering Fe(2+) to proteins involved in these pathways. May play a role in the protection against iron-catalyzed oxidative stress through its ability to catalyze the oxidation of Fe(2+) to Fe(3+). May be able to store large amounts of the metal in the form of a ferrihydrite mineral by oligomerization. Required for ecdysteroidogenesis in the prothoracic gland which is necessary for larval to pupal transition. Belongs to the frataxin family. (190 aa) | ||||
Tsf1 | Transferrin 1 (Tsf1) encodes an iron binding protein induced during the immune response. Iron sequestration is a classical host defense mechanism to combat bacterial infection. (641 aa) |
