Biological function summary
This protein plays a significant role in maintaining iron homeostasis within the body. HFE does not function alone; it forms a complex with transferrin receptors to modulate iron uptake. Its interaction with the transferrin-bound iron helps prevent excess iron build-up by reducing the binding affinity of transferrin for its receptor. Through these interactions HFE balances iron storage and transport ensuring proper iron levels in vital organs.
Pathways
HFE is an integral part of iron metabolism and homeostasis pathways. It closely interacts with proteins like TFR1 (Transferrin Receptor 1) in these pathways. The hepcidin pathway also involves HFE where it indirectly influences the synthesis of hepcidin by the liver. Hepcidin plays an important role in preventing iron overload by binding and degrading the iron export protein ferroportin hence regulating the release of iron from cells adding a layer of control over iron homeostasis.
