Iron transport: From enterocyte to mitochondria Demir taşınımı: Enterositten mitokondriye
نویسنده
چکیده
Transport of iron to tissues is of vital importance. Remarkable advances have been made concerning the mechanisms involving iron metabolism after its absorption. Studies assessing cellular and mitochondrial iron metabolism have resulted in interesting findings. This review highlights the recent advances in the mechanisms involving transport and delivery of iron to tissues, cellular and mitochondrial iron metabolism, iron-related molecules, and mitochondrial disorders.

Iron homeostasis: new tales from the crypt.
The enterocyte is a highly specialized cell of the duodenal epithelium that coordinates iron uptake and transport into the body. Until recently, the molecular mechanisms underlying iron absorption and iron homeostasis have remained a mystery. This review focuses on the proteins and regulatory mechanisms known to be present in the enterocyte precursor cell and in the mature enterocyte. The recen...
متن کاملSMALL INTESTINE A rapid decrease in the expression of DMT1 and Dcytb but not Ireg1 or hephaestin explains the mucosal block phenomenon of iron absorption
Background: A large oral dose of iron will reduce the absorption of a subsequent smaller dose of iron in a phenomenon known as mucosal block. Molecular analysis of this process may provide insights into the regulation of intestinal iron absorption. Aims: To determine the effect of an oral bolus of iron on duodenal expression of molecules associated with intestinal iron transport in rats and to ...

متن کاملMitochondrial iron transport and homeostasis in plants
Iron (Fe) is an essential nutrient for plants and although the mechanisms controlling iron uptake from the soil are relatively well understood, comparatively little is known about subcellular trafficking of iron in plant cells. Mitochondria represent a significant iron sink within cells, as iron is required for the proper functioning of respiratory chain protein complexes. Mitochondria are a si...

In addition, we have shown that unidirectional influx of "Fe 3 + radio-labelled iron into human duodenal mucosa is an energydependent, saturable process significantly reduced by metabolic inhibitors and having a Q10 of approximately 3. These results are consistent with active transport of iron by the enterocyte. Assay of total iron by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in the biopsies from pat...
