| multipass membrane protein |
|
localized to vesicular-like structures at the plasma membrane and around the nucleus |
|
glycosylated protein present in the trans-Golgi network, endosomal-vesicular compartment and cytoplasmic membrane  |
basic FUNCTION
| playing a role in the export of TPT1 and in the regulation of vesicular trafficking and secretion |
|
may act downstream to TP53 to interface apoptosis and cell-cycle progression |
|
acting as an endosomal ferrireductase required for efficient transferrin-dependent iron uptake in erythroid cells |
|
participating in erythroid iron homeostasis by reducing Fe(3+) to Fe(2+) using NAD(+) as acceptor |
|
can also reduce of Cu(2+) to Cu(1+) using NAD(+) as acceptor, suggesting that it participates in copper homeostasis |
|
exosome formation is a tightly controlled biological process dependent of STEAP3  |
|
indirectly involved in exosome secretion by facilitating the secretion of proteins such as TCTP |
|
maintains iron storage in human malignant cells and tumor proliferation under the hypoferric condition  |
|
ferrireductase that is involved in the acquisition of iron by developing erythroblasts  |
|
STEAP1, STEAP2, STEAP3, STEAP4 share an innate activity as metalloreductases, indicating their importance in metal metabolism  |
