Iron Metabolism Pathway

Molecular classification: Metabolic Pathway

Overview

The iron metabolism pathway encompasses the processes by which iron is absorbed, transported, utilized, stored, and regulated within the body. Iron is essential for numerous physiological functions including oxygen transport (as part of hemoglobin), DNA synthesis, cellular respiration, and energy production. The pathway involves a tightly regulated network of proteins and mechanisms to maintain systemic and cellular iron homeostasis.
