Iron transport: From enterocyte to mitochondria.
Transport of iron to tissues is of vital importance. Remarkable advances have been made concerning the mechanisms involving iron metabolism after its absorption. Studies assessing cellular and mitochondrial iron metabolism have resulted in interesting findings. This review highlights the recent advances in the mechanisms involving transport and delivery of iron to tissues, cellular and mitochondrial iron metabolism, iron-related molecules, and mitochondrial disorders.
