Iron Transport Protein
- Molecular classification
- Transporter, Storage Protein, Receptor
01
Overview
Iron transport proteins are essential for the safe and efficient movement of iron throughout the body. Key proteins include transferrin (for plasma transport), ferritin (for storage), DMT1 (for importing iron into cells), and ferroportin (for exporting iron from cells). These proteins work together to maintain iron homeostasis and prevent both iron deficiency and toxicity.
