Discovery of a cytosolic/soluble ferroxidase in rodent enterocytes.
Hephaestin (Heph), a membrane-bound multicopper ferroxidase (FOX) expressed in duodenal enterocytes, is required for optimal iron absorption. However, sex-linked anemia (sla) mice harboring a 194-amino acid deletion in the Heph protein are able to absorb dietary iron despite reduced expression and mislocalization of the mutant protein. Thus Heph may not be essential, and mice are able to compen...
متن کاملThe Multicopper Ferroxidase Hephaestin Enhances Intestinal Iron Absorption in Mice
Hephaestin is a vertebrate multicopper ferroxidase important for the transfer of dietary iron from intestinal cells to the blood. Hephaestin is mutated in the sex-linked anemia mouse, resulting in iron deficiency. However, sex-linked anemia mice still retain some hephaestin ferroxidase activity. They survive, breed, and their anemia improves with age. To gain a better understanding of the role ...

WILLIAMS, ID. M., G. K. LEE, AND G. E CARTWRIGIIT. Fb-roxidasc nctivity of rat ccruloplasmin. Am. J. Physiol. 227(5) : 1094-1097. 1974.-The ferroxidase activity of rat ceruloplasmin was studied under various assay conditions. The ferroxidase activity was optimal at pH 6.0-6.2 in acetate buffer in the absence of ascorbate, and under these conditions the activity was about 1/3rd that of human cer...
متن کاملcomparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اولRED CELLS Hephaestin is a ferroxidase that maintains partial activity in sex-linked anemia mice
Hephaestin (Hp) plays an important role in intestinal iron absorption and is predicted to be a ferroxidase based on significant sequence identity to the serum multicopper ferroxidase ceruloplasmin. Here, we demonstrate that Hp has both amine oxidase and ferroxidase activity in cultured cells and primary intestinal enterocytes with the use of both gel and solution assays. The specificity of the ...
