Tf - transferrin Gene

Also Known as Tfn; Trf

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 24825

Summary

Enables ferric iron binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cAMP; cellular response to follicle-stimulating hormone stimulus; and regulation of nervous system development. Located in basement membrane; cell tip; and extracellular space. Used to study hepatitis. Biomarker of anemia and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anemia; atransferrinemia; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); iron deficiency anemia; and restless legs syndrome. Orthologous to human TF (transferrin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
