Recombinant Human Solute carrier family 22 member 17 (SLC22A17), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q8WUG5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SLC22A17

Target Full Name

Solute carrier family 22 member 17

Target Function

Cell surface receptor for LCN2 (24p3) that plays a key role in iron homeostasis and transport. Able to bind iron-bound LCN2 (holo-24p3), followed by internalization of holo-24p3 and release of iron, thereby increasing intracellular iron concentration and leading to inhibition of apoptosis. Also binds iron-free LCN2 (apo-24p3), followed by internalization of apo-24p3 and its association with an intracellular siderophore, leading to iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing intracellular iron concentration and resulting in apoptosis.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Vacuole membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Upon LCN2-binding, it is internalized.

Target Protein Families

Major facilitator (TC 2.A.1) superfamily, Organic cation transporter (TC 2.A.1.19) family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in brain.
