Biological function summary
TfR plays a critical role in iron homeostasis by mediating the internalization of transferrin and release of iron in the endosomes. It operates as part of the transferrin-transferrin receptor complex facilitating iron assimilation necessary for DNA synthesis and cell growth. Iron release involves acidifying endosomes allowing transferrin to bind with specific cellular receptors including alternate forms like beta 2 transferrin. The process subsequently contributes to erythropoiesis and various metabolic processes by regulating essential cellular iron levels.
Pathways
The transferrin receptor is central to iron metabolism and the receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway. It tightly interacts with transferrin and intracellular pathways process the iron released from transferrin within endosomes. The receptor's role in this pathway involves a dynamic with other proteins such as HFE and hepcidin. These interactions help control systemic iron levels linking closely to the maintenance of erythroid cell health and proliferation.

功能
The protein expressed by the gene TFRC is involved in the cellular uptake of iron via receptor-mediated endocytosis, where the transferrin receptor, bound to its ligand, is internalized into specialized endosomes. Following endosomal acidification, iron is released, and the apotransferrin-receptor complex is recycled to the cell surface, where a return to neutral pH results in the loss of apotransferrin's affinity for its receptor. The hereditary hemochromatosis protein HFE competes with transferrin for binding at an overlapping C-terminal site. TFRC positively regulates T and B cell proliferation through iron uptake. It functions as a lipid sensor influencing mitochondrial fusion by modulating the JNK pathway activity. Low dietary levels of stearate promote JNK pathway activation, leading to HUWE1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of the mitofusin MFN2, inhibiting mitochondrial fusion. High dietary stearate levels result in TFRC stearoylation, which inhibits JNK pathway activation and MFN2 degradation. Additionally, TFRC acts as a receptor for new-world arenaviruses, including Guanarito, Junin, and Machupo viruses.

序列相似性
Belongs to the peptidase M28 family. M28B subfamily.
翻译后修饰
Stearoylated by ZDHHC6 which inhibits TFRC-mediated activation of the JNK pathway and promotes mitochondrial fragmentation (PubMed:26214738). Stearoylation does not affect iron uptake (PubMed:26214738).. N- and O-glycosylated, phosphorylated and palmitoylated. The serum form is only glycosylated.. Proteolytically cleaved on Arg-100 to produce the soluble serum form (sTfR).. Palmitoylated on both Cys-62 and Cys-67. Cys-62 seems to be the major site of palmitoylation.
