Protein

Fe(2+) transport protein 2

Organism

Arabidopsis thaliana

Length

350 amino acids

Function

High-affinity iron transporter that mediates under iron-deficiency the iron uptake from the rhizosphere across the plasma membrane in the root epidermal layer. Could also be capable of transporting zinc ions.

Similarity

Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.
