Co-trafficking of HFE, a Nonclassical Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Protein, with the Transferrin Receptor Implies a Role in Intracellular Iron Regulation
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which a novel major histocompatibility complex class I protein, HFE, regulates iron uptake into the body is not known. HFE is the product of the gene that is mutated in >80% of hereditary hemochromatosis patients. It was recently found to coprecipitate with the transferrin receptor (Feder, J. N., Penny, D.
