Hephaestin Rabbit anti-Human, Mouse, Rat, Polyclonal, Proteintech

Description

B1AJX8(HEPH) is similar to an iron transport protein found in mouse. The mouse protein is similar to ceruloplasmin, a serum multi-copper ferroxidase, and is thought to be a membrane-bound protein responsible for transport of dietary iron from epithelial cells of the intestinal lumen into the circulatory system. In mouse, defects in this gene can lead to severe microcytic anemia. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. The protein encoded by this gene is similar to an iron transport protein found in mouse.
