Hephl1

Predicted to enable ferroxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular iron ion homeostasis. Predicted to act upstream of or within multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; hippocampal formation; integumental system; and retina. Orthologous to human HEPHL1 (hephaestin like 1).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hephl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.

Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
