NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 11 protein family. 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]
Uniprot Description
SLC11A2: Important in metal transport, in particular iron. Can also transport manganese, cobalt, cadmium, nickel, vanadium and lead. Involved in apical iron uptake into duodenal enterocytes. Involved in iron transport from acidified endosomes into the cytoplasm of erythroid precursor cells. May play an important role in hepatic iron accumulation and tissue iron distribution. Defects in SLC11A2 are a cause of hypochromic microcytic anemia (HCMA). The disease is characterized by an abnormal hemoglobin content in the erythrocytes which are reduced in size. It may be hereditary or acquired. Mutations in SLC11A2 are associated with progressive liver iron overload and normal to moderately elevated serum ferritin levels. Belongs to the NRAMP family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human SLC11A2 slc11a2 (Catalog #AAA765330) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA765330 ELISA Kit recognizes Human SLC11A2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 2, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
