Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

Slc11a2Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 2; May serve to import iron into the mitochondria (By similarity). Important in metal transport, in particular iron. Can also transport zinc, manganese, cobalt, cadmium, copper, nickel and lead. Involved in apical iron uptake into duodenal enterocytes. Involved in iron transport from acidified endosomes into the cytoplasm of erythroid precursor cells. May play an important role in hepatic iron accumulation and tissue iron distribution. Belongs to the NRAMP family. (592 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Cybrd1
Cytochrome b reductase 1; Ferric-chelate reductase that reduces Fe(3+) to Fe(2+). Present at the brush border of duodenal enterocytes where it probably reduces dietary Fe(3+) thereby facilitating its transport into the mucosal cells. Uses ascorbate as electron donor. May be involved in extracellular ascorbate recycling in erythrocyte membranes. May also act as a ferrireductase in airway epithelial cells (By similarity).

Slc40a1
Solute carrier family 40 member 1; May be involved in iron export from duodenal epithelial cell and also in transfer of iron between maternal and fetal circulation. Mediates iron efflux in the presence of a ferroxidase (hephaestin and/or ceruloplasmin) (By similarity).

Tfrc
Transferrin receptor protein 1; Cellular uptake of iron occurs via receptor-mediated endocytosis of ligand-occupied transferrin receptor into specialized endosomes. Endosomal acidification leads to iron release. The apotransferrin-receptor complex is then recycled to the cell surface with a return to neutral pH and the concomitant loss of affinity of apotransferrin for its receptor. Transferrin receptor is necessary for development of erythrocytes and the nervous system (By similarity). Positively regulates T and B cell proliferation through iron uptake (By similarity); Belongs to the [...]

Slc39a8
Zinc transporter ZIP8; Acts as a manganese and zinc influx transporter. Plays a role in manganese reabsorption in the proximal tubule of the kidney and in manganese uptake into the brain; Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.
  
 
 0.924
Hamp
Hepcidin; Seems to act as a signaling molecule involved in the maintenance of iron homeostasis. Seems to be required in conjunction with HFE to regulate both intestinal iron absorption and iron storage in macrophages. May also have antimicrobial activity (By similarity). Belongs to the hepcidin family.
      
 0.918
Slc39a4
Zinc transporter ZIP4; Plays an important role in cellular zinc homeostasis as a zinc transporter. Regulated in response to zinc availability (By similarity); Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.
  
 
 0.910
Slc39a1
Solute carrier family 39 member 1.
     
 0.907
Slc39a14
Solute carrier family 39 (Zinc transporter), member 14 (Predicted).
  
 
 0.891
Steap3
Metalloreductase STEAP3; Endosomal ferrireductase required for efficient transferrin- dependent iron uptake in erythroid cells. Participates in erythroid iron homeostasis by reducing Fe(3+) to Fe(2+). Also mediates reduction of Cu(2+) to Cu(1+), suggesting that it participates in copper homeostasis. Uses NADP(+) as acceptor. Indirectly involved in exosome secretion by facilitating the secretion of proteins such as TCTP (By similarity). May play a role downstream of p53/TP53 to interface apoptosis and cell cycle progression.

Slc39a6
Zinc transporter ZIP6; May act as a zinc-influx transporter.
