Abstract excerpt
Transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2), a homologue of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), is a key molecule involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Mutations in TfR2 result in iron overload with similar features to HFE-associated hereditary hemochromatosis. The precise role of TfR2 in iron metabolism and the functional consequences of disease-causing mutations have not been fully determined. We have expressed...
