Term information
- Reactome:R-HSA-904830 (SLC40A1:CP:6Cu2+ transports Fe2+ from cytosol to extracellular region)
- Reactome:R-HSA-5655733 (Defective SLC40A1 does not transport Fe2+ from cytosol to extracellular region)
- Reactome:R-HSA-5623558 (Defective SLC11A2 does not cotransport Fe2+, H+ from extracellular region to cytosol)
- Reactome:R-HSA-917936 (MCOLN1 transports Fe2+ from endosome lumen to cytosol)
- Reactome:R-HSA-435349 (SLC11A2 cotransports Fe2+, H+ from extracellular region to cytosol)
An example of this is mouse ferroportin (UniProtKB:Q9JHI9), which transports iron out of the cell.
