Erfe Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable hormone activity; identical protein binding activity; and molecular sequestering activity. Involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human ERFE (erythroferrone). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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