Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 7036
Gene name Transferrin receptor 2
Gene symbol TFR2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HFE3TFRC2
Chromosome 7
Chromosome location 7q22.1
Summary This gene encodes a single-pass type II membrane protein, which is a member of the transferrin receptor-like family. This protein mediates cellular uptake of transferrin-bound iron, and may be involved in iron metabolism, hepatocyte function and erythrocy
