Gene: HFE

Alternate names for this Gene: HFE1|HH|HLA-H|MVCD7|TFQTL2

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that is similar to MHC class I-type proteins and associates with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M). It is thought that this protein functions to regulate iron absorption by regulating the interaction of the transferrin receptor with transferrin. The iron storage disorder, hereditary haemochromatosis, is a recessive genetic disorder that results from defects in this gene. At least nine alternatively spliced variants have been described for this gene. Additional variants have been found but their full-length nature has not been determined.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p22.2

Description of this Gene: homeostatic iron regulator

Type of Gene: protein-coding
