| CD228 Gene ID | 30060 |
| CD228 Official Full Name | antigen p97 (melanoma associated) identified by monoclonal antibodies 133.2 and 96.5 |
| CD228 Alias | Melanotransferrin, MFI2 |
| CD228 Cellular Expression | Endothelial; Epithelial; Stem cell |
| CD228 Ligand/Receptor/Association | iron |
| CD228 Function | Involved in cellular iron uptake |
| CD228 Summary | CD228 encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein found on melanoma cells. The protein shares sequence similarity and iron-binding properties with members of the transferrin superfamily. The importance of the iron binding function has not yet been identified. This gene resides in the same region of chromosome 3 as members of the transferrin superfamily. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants. |
