Solute Carrier Family 11 Member 2

This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 11 protein family. The product of this gene transports divalent metals and is involved in iron absorption. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypochromic microcytic anemia with iron overload. A related solute carrier family 11 protein gene is located on chromosome 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Important in metal transport, in particular iron. Can also transport manganese, cobalt, cadmium, nickel, vanadium and lead. Involved in apical iron uptake into duodenal enterocytes. Involved in iron transport from acidified endosomes into the cytoplasm of erythroid precursor cells. May play an important role in hepatic iron accumulation and tissue iron distribution. May serve to import iron into the mitochondria.

Anemia, hypochromic microcytic, with iron overload 1 (AHMIO1):
A hematologic disease characterized by abnormal hemoglobin content in the erythrocytes which are reduced in size. The disorder is due to an error of iron metabolism that results in high serum iron, massive hepatic iron deposition, and absence of sideroblasts and stainable bone marrow iron store. Despite adequate transferrin-iron complex, delivery of iron to the erythroid bone marrow is apparently insufficient for the demands of hemoglobin synthesis.
