Structural highlights
2g4h is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Equus caballus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
FRIL_HORSE Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney (By similarity).
