Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
The protein encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein found on melanoma cells. The protein shares sequence similarity and iron-binding properties with members of the transferrin superfamily. The importance of the iron binding function has not ye

UniProt ID P08582
Protein name Melanotransferrin (Melanoma-associated antigen p97) (CD antigen CD228)
Protein function Involved in iron cellular uptake. Seems to be internalized and then recycled back to the cell membrane. Binds a single atom of iron per subunit. Could also bind zinc.
