Gene

Hfe

Species
Mus musculus
Symbol
Hfe
Name
homeostatic iron regulator
Synonyms
  • MR2
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables transferrin receptor binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within hormone biosynthetic process and multicellular organismal-level 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 arthritis (multiple); bone marrow cancer (multiple); hemochromatosis (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and microcytic anemia (multiple). Orthologous to human HFE (homeostatic iron regulator).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mutation of this gene affects iron metabolism. Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit increased intestinal iron absorption and an elevated hepatic iron load but reduced duodenal iron stores. Heterozygotes also accumulate more iron than normal. [provided by MGI curators]
