AffiAB® Anti-Mitoferrin1 Antibody

SLC25A37 is a solute carrier localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. It functions as an essential iron importer for the synthesis of mitochondrial heme and iron-sulfur clusters (summary by Chen et al., 2009) . Mitochondrial iron transporter that specifically mediates iron uptake in developing erythroid cells, thereby playing an essential role in heme biosynthesis. The iron delivered into the mitochondria, presumably as Fe (2+) , is then probably delivered to ferrochelatase to catalyze Fe (2+) incorporation into protoprophyrin IX to make heme (By similarity) .
