1 Expression of the duodenal iron transporters divalent-metal transporter 1 and ferroportin 1 in iron deficiency and iron overload. Iron solute carrier family 11 member 2 Homo sapiens
2 The identification of divalent-metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and ferroportin 1 (FP1) has improved our understanding of transmembrane iron trafficking. Iron solute carrier family 11 member 2 Homo sapiens
3 The identification of divalent-metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and ferroportin 1 (FP1) has improved our understanding of transmembrane iron trafficking. Iron solute carrier family 11 member 2 Homo sapiens
4 Moreover, DMT1 and FP1 mRNA levels were significantly increased in patients with iron deficiency, HFE and non-HFE hemochromatosis, whereas they were unchanged in patients with secondary iron overload. Iron solute carrier family 11 member 2 Homo sapiens
5 In patients with normal iron status or iron deficiency, significant negative correlations between DMT1, FP1 mRNA, and serum iron parameters were found, which were absent in subjects with primary hemochromatosis. Iron solute carrier family 11 member 2 Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSIONS: DMT1 and FP1 are centrally involved in iron uptake/transfer in the duodenum and in the adaptive changes of iron homeostasis to iron deficiency and overload. Iron solute carrier family 11 member 2 Homo sapiens
7 CONCLUSIONS: DMT1 and FP1 are centrally involved in iron uptake/transfer in the duodenum and in the adaptive changes of iron homeostasis to iron deficiency and overload. Iron solute carrier family 11 member 2 Homo sapiens
