Expression System
  • E. coli
Form Lyophilized powder
Function
  • Iron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis
  • innate immunity and renal development. Binds iron through association with 2
  • 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2
  • 5-DHBA)
  • a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin
  • and delivers or removes iron from the cell
  • depending on the context. Iron-bound form (holo-24p3) is internalized following binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor
  • leading to release of iron and subsequent increase of intracellular iron concentration. In contrast
  • association of the iron-free form (apo-24p3) with the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor is followed by association with an intracellular siderophore
  • iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium
  • thereby reducing intracellular iron concentration. Involved in apoptosis due to interleukin-3 (IL3) deprivation

Scientific Background

Iron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis, innate immunity and renal development. Binds iron through association with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin, and delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context. Iron-bound form (holo-24p3) is internalized following binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor, leading to release of iron and subsequent increase of intracellular iron concentration.
