HFE - homeostatic iron regulator Gene
Also Known as HH; HFE1; HLA-H; MVCD7; TFQTL2
Species: Homo sapiens
About HFE
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 398 orthologues, 22 paralogues and is associated with 12 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 5.0), gall bladder (RPKM 4.6) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that is similar to MHC class I-type proteins and associates with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M). It is thought that this protein functions to regulate iron absorption by regulating the interaction of the Transferrin Receptor with transferrin. The iron storage disorder, hereditary haemochromatosis, is a recessive genetic disorder that results from defects in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]
