Function | Integral membrane protein that functions as a NADPH-dependent ferric-chelate reductase, using NADPH from one side of the membrane to reduce a Fe(3+) chelate that is bound on the other side of the membrane. Mediates sequential transmembrane electron transfer from NADPH to FAD and onto heme, and finally to the Fe(3+) chelate (PubMed:30337524). Can also reduce Cu(2+) to Cu(1+) (By similarity). Plays a role in systemic metabolic homeostasis, integrating inflammatory and metabolic responses (By similarity). Associated with obesity and insulin-resistance (PubMed:18381574, PubMed:18430367). Involved in inflammatory arthritis, through the regulation of inflammatory cytokines (PubMed:19660107). Inhibits anchorage- independent cell proliferation (PubMed:19787193). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Early endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in adipose tissue. Expressed in placenta, lung, heart and prostate. Detected at lower levels in liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, testis and small intestine Highly expressed in joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and localized with CD68 cells, a marker for macrophages |

Background
STEAP4 Antibody: The six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 4 (STEAP4) is a member of a family of metalloreductases identified as cell-surface antigens in prostate tissue. Similar to two other members of the STEAP family (STEAP 2 and STEAP3), STEAP4 promotes both iron and copper reduction. STEAP4 is highly expressed in placenta, lung, heart and prostate tissues, and overexpressed in prostate cancer cells compared to normal prostate cells. Overexpression of STEAP4 in prostate cells significantly increases cell growth and colony formation, suggesting STEAP4 may have a role in cell proliferation and prostate cancer progression.
