HFE (gene)

Index HFE (gene)

Human hemochromatosis protein also known as the HFE protein is a protein which in humans is encoded by the HFE gene. [1]

12 relations: Alternative splicing, Beta-2 microglobulin, Chromosome 6, Gene, Hepcidin, HFE hereditary haemochromatosis, MHC class I, Protein, Protein–protein interaction, Transferrin, Transferrin receptor, Transferrin receptor 1.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing, or differential splicing, is a regulated process during gene expression that results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins.

Beta-2 microglobulin

β2 microglobulin also known as B2M is a component of MHC class I molecules, MHC class I molecules have α1, α2, and α3 proteins which are present on all nucleated cells (excludes red blood cells).

HFE hereditary haemochromatosis

Haemochromatosis (or hemochromatosis) type 1 autosomal recessive is a hereditary disease characterized by excessive intestinal absorption of dietary iron resulting in a pathological increase in total body iron stores.

MHC class I

MHC class I molecules are one of two primary classes of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules (the other being MHC class II) and are found on the cell surface of all nucleated cells in the bodies of jawed vertebrates.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

New!!: HFE (gene) and Protein · See more »

Protein–protein interaction

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are the physical contacts of high specificity established between two or more protein molecules as a result of biochemical events steered by electrostatic forces including the hydrophobic effect.

Transferrin

Transferrins are iron-binding blood plasma glycoproteins that control the level of free iron (Fe) in biological fluids.

Transferrin receptor

Transferrin receptor (TfR) is a carrier protein for transferrin.

Transferrin receptor 1

Transferrin receptor protein 1 (TfR1), also known as Cluster of Differentiation 71 (CD71), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TFRC gene.
