S22AH_HUMAN (UniProt)

Gene names: SLC22A17, BOCT, BOIT
Protein names and data: S22AH_HUMAN, Full=Solute carrier family 22 member 17, Full=24p3 receptor;Short=24p3R;Full=Brain-type organic cation transporter;Full=Lipocalin-2 receptor;Full=Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin receptor;Short=NgalR; Length: 538 a.a., Mass: 57686 Da,
fasta formatted sequence
Function: Cell surface receptor for LCN2 (24p3) that plays a key role in iron homeostasis and transport. Able to bind iron-bound LCN2 (holo-24p3), followed by internalization of holo-24p3 and release of iron, thereby increasing intracellular iron concentration and leading to inhibition of apoptosis. Also binds iron-free LCN2 (apo-24p3), followed by internalization of apo-24p3 and its association with an intracellular siderophore, leading to iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing intracellular iron concentration and resulting in apoptosis (By similarity)
Cellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Vacuole membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Upon LCN2- binding, it is internalized
Tissue specificity: Expressed in brain
