FET3-FTR1 high affinity iron permease complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
High affinity iron uptake complex present in the plasma membrane. The complex forms in the endoplasmic reticulum and then traffics to the plasma membrane. Environmental ferric iron (Fe(III), Fe3+) is mobilized by reduction to ferrous ion (Fe(II), Fe2+) by surface metalloreductases such as FRE1 (P32791), followed by oxidation to Fe(III) by FET3. This FET3-bound Fe(III) is the substrate for permeation facilitated by FTR1.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
