| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ferroxidase activity. Involved in intestinal iron absorption; multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis; and positive regulation of iron export across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within erythrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in basolateral plasma membrane. Orthologous to human HEPH (hephaestin). PHENOTYPE: Hemizygous male and homozygous female mutants are small and pale at birth, exhibit a hypochromic anemia which tends to disappear with age. Mutants have impaired iron transport in the placenta and in the gut. [provided by MGI curators] |
