The product of this gene transports divalent metals and is involved in iron absorption. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypochromic microcytic anemia with iron overload. A related solute carrier family 11 protein gene is located on chromosome 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010] Expression Ubiquitous expression in duodenum (RPKM 12.8), thyroid (RPKM 12.7) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
