Iron is transported in the blood by the protein transferrin and is stored in the body as the proteins ferritin and haemosiderin. Functionally important forms of iron are haemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochromes, iron-sulphur proteins, iron enzymes, and lactoferrin. Approximately two thirds of the body'...

Iron is essential to cells as a cofactor in enzymes of respiration and replication, however without correct storage, iron leads to the formation of dangerous oxygen radicals. In yeast and plants, iron is transported into a membrane-bound vacuole by the vacuolar iron transporter (VIT). This trans...
1. Low iron refers to a condition of iron deficiency in the human body. Iron is one of the essential nutrients necessary for the body, responsible for the synthesis of hemoglobin, which allows oxygen to be transported effectively by red blood cells to all parts of the body. Iron...
Internalized iron is transported to mitochondria for the synthesis of haem or iron-sulfur clusters, which are integral parts of several metalloproteins, and excess iron is stored and detoxified in cytosolic ferritin. Iron metabolism is controlled at different levels and by diverse mechanisms. The ...
Further, HPLC-gamma spectroscopy analyses indicated that 59Fe in the olfactory mucosa was coeluted with transferrin. Hence iron, unlike manganese, is not readily transported to the brain via the olfactory tract. 展开 关键词: Iron Transferrin Olfactory Inhalation Rats Metals ...
it occurs in non heme compounds, such as ferritin, siderophilin, and hemosiderin. Hemoglobin, found in the red blood cells, is responsible for transport of oxygen to the tissue cells and constitutes about two-thirds (mass) of all iron present in the human body. An adult human may contain...
Under the action of membrane iron transport proteins, Fe2+ is transported out of the cell and oxidized to Fe3+ by multicopper oxidases. It then forms a complex with transferrin (TF) known as TF-Fe3+, which circulates through the bloodstream, delivering iron to various organs and tissues [...
“However, if this goes on for a long time, there is less iron for red blood cells, so oxygen is transported less efficiently affecting metabolism and energy production, and for white blood cells, which need iron to work properly. The protective mechanism ends up becoming a problem.” ...
Immediately after radioiron administration the isotope was transported in the serum fraction of the blood to sites of iron storage and elimination. The liver is the most important target organ for iron in ammocoetes, and radioiron acquired from the alimentary canal, skin, carcass, and blood ...
