Hephl1 - hephaestin-like 1 Gene

Predicted to enable ferroxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular iron ion homeostasis and iron ion transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within copper ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; hippocampal formation; integumental system; and retina. Orthologous to human HEPHL1 (hephaestin like 1).
