1 Iron regulatory proteins (IRP1 and IRP2) control the synthesis of transferrin receptors (TfR) and ferritin by binding to iron-responsive elements (IREs) that are located in the 3" untranslated region (UTR) and the 5" UTR of their respective mRNAs. Iron aconitase 1 Mus musculus
2 ), a redox species of nitric oxide that interacts primarily with iron, can activate IRP1 RNA-binding activity resulting in an increase in TfR mRNA levels and a decrease in ferritin synthesis. Iron aconitase 1 Mus musculus
