Iron Metabolism Pathways

Molecular classification
Metabolic pathway, Regulatory network
01

Overview

Iron metabolism pathways encompass the tightly regulated processes of iron absorption, transport, cellular uptake, storage, recycling, and systemic regulation. These pathways ensure sufficient iron is available for essential biological functions—such as oxygen transport (hemoglobin), DNA synthesis, and energy production—while preventing toxic accumulation.
