Molecular understandings of copper transport and metabolism have advanced significantly in the past 10 years. In this review we examine two areas where the new information has been particularly rapid and the insights more profound: membrane copper transport and the ferroxidase function of ceruloplas

## Abstract K562 erythroleukemia cells and IEC6 rat cells were examined using confocal microscopy and antibodies raised against DMT‐1 (Nramp‐2, DCT‐1), transferrin receptor (CD71), β~3~ integrin (CD61), mobilferrin (calreticulin), and Hephaestin. The cellular location of each of these proteins was
Hereditary hemochromatosis, a very common genetic defect in the Caucasian population, is characterized by progressive tissue iron overload which leads to irreversible organ damage if it is not treated timely. The elucidation of the molecular pathways of iron transport through cells and its control h
