Gene name Solute carrier family 40 member 1
Gene symbol SLC40A1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
FPNFPN1HFE4IREG1MST079MSTP079MTP1SLC11A3
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q32.2
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a cell membrane protein that may be involved in iron export from duodenal epithelial cells. Defects in this gene are a cause of hemochromatosis type 4 (HFE4). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
