Trf

Predicted to enable iron chaperone activity; iron ion binding activity; and transferrin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; positive regulation of bone resorption; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within iron ion transport and response to bacterium. Located in clathrin-coated pit and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including blood; brain; liver; placenta; and white fat. Used to study atransferrinemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anemia (multiple); atransferrinemia; gastrointestinal system disease; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and restless legs syndrome. Orthologous to human TF (transferrin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Trf often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
