Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in intracellular iron ion homeostasis; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis and negative regulation of BMP signaling pathway. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; sensory organ; and uterus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcytic anemia. Orthologous to human TMPRSS6 (transmembrane serine protease 6).
