Mechanisms of Cellular Iron Homeostasis

The study of iron homeostasis requires knowledge of the major forms of iron in the body, iron exchange between these components and iron intake and loss. This chapter considers the proteins of iron metabolism, extra-and intra-cellular iron exchange, and the regulation of synthesis and breakdown of the proteins of iron metabolism. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
