About Slc40a1

Chromosome 1: 45,947,228-45,965,683 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000994.3

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues and is associated with 65 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver E18 (RPKM 41.3), placenta adult (RPKM 28.4) and 21 other tissues.

Summary

Enables ferrous iron transmembrane transporter activity; identical protein binding activity; and peptide hormone binding activity. Involved in iron ion export across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including multicellular organismal iron ion homeostasis; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and spleen trabecula formation. Located in basolateral plasma membrane and synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Used to study hemochromatosis type 4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hemochromatosis type 4. Orthologous to human SLC40A1 (solute carrier family 40 member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
