关于 Meltf

功能概要

Predicted to enable iron ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading; positive regulation of extracellular matrix disassembly; and positive regulation of plasminogen activation. Predicted to act upstream of or within ion transport and iron ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be anchored component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in endosome; extracellular space; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MELTF (melanotransferrin).
