Anti-Hfe Antibody Picoband®, Cy3 Conjugate

Human homeostatic iron regulator protein, also known as the HFE protein (High FE2+), is a protein which in humans is encoded by the HFE gene. Enables transferrin receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within hormone biosynthetic process and multicellular organismal iron ion homeostasis. Part of HFE-transferrin receptor complex. Is expressed in brain; choroid invagination; diencephalon roof plate; medulla oblongata part of 4th ventricle choroid plexus; and metencephalon part of 4th ventricle choroid plexus. Used to study hemochromatosis type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acute porphyria (multiple); arthritis (multiple); bone marrow cancer (multiple); hemochromatosis (multiple); and liver disease (multiple). Orthologous to human HFE (homeostatic iron regulator).
