Background

Transferrin Receptor 2 (TfR2) is an iron-binding protein that is homologous to the transferrin receptor. Lack of active TfR2 has been associated with a rare form of hemochromatosis. The TfR2 alpha isoform is a type 2 transmembrane protein that is expressed in the liver and modulates hepcidin production in response to iron. It forms a 215 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer that is presumably glycated. The TfR2 beta isoform lacks the intracellular, transmembrane and part of the extracellular regions and is expressed ubiquitously. The extracellular portion of human TfR2 shares 86% aa identity with mouse.
