ABCB7 | ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 7 (ABCB7) encodes a transporter that likely dimerizes to form a functional transporter. It may act in the mitochondria to transport substrates necessary for the maturation of ICS proteins, which are involved in iron homeostasis. (743 aa) | ||||
Irp-1A | Iron regulatory protein 1A (Irp-1A) encodes a cytosolic aconitase that under iron deficiency (or if cytosolic superoxide is present) loses its iron-sulfur cluster, changes confirmation and binds iron regulatory elements (so far identified on the products of SdhB and Fer1HCH mRNAs); Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family. (902 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) | ||||
Fer1HCH | Ferritin 1 heavy chain homologue (Fer1HCH) encodes one of two subunits of the major iron storage complex, the ferritin molecule. In insects, ferritin is assembled from 12 Fer1HCH and 12 Fer2LCH subunits and can be found in the secretory pathway of cells and in hemolymph. The product of Fer1HCH has ferroxidase activity required for iron loading into ferritin and is essential for embryogenesis. (245 aa) |
