Mitoferrin1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

SLC25A37 is a solute carrier localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. It functions as an essential iron importer for the synthesis of mitochondrial heme and iron-sulfur clusters (summary by Chen et al., 2009). Mitochondrial iron transporter that specifically mediates iron uptake in developing erythroid cells, thereby playing an essential role in heme biosynthesis. The iron delivered into the mitochondria, presumably as Fe (2+), is then probably delivered to ferrochelatase to catalyze Fe (2+) incorporation into protoprophyrin IX to make heme (By similarity).
