Regulation of transferrin-mediated iron uptake by HFE, the protein defective in hereditary hemochromatosis
26 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
The protein defective in hereditary hemochromatosis, called HFE, is similar to MHC class I-type proteins and associates with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M). Its association with beta2M was previously shown to be necessary for its stability, normal intracellular processing, and cell surface expression in transfected COS cells. Here we use stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary cell lines expressing both HFE and...
