Belgrade (b) rats have an autosomal recessive, microcytic, hypochromic anemia. Transferrin (Tf)-dependent iron uptake is defective because of a mutation in DMT1 (Nramp2), blocking endosomal iron efflux. This experiment of nature permits the present study to address whether the mutation also affects

## Abstract Iron‐uptake and storage are tightly regulated to guarantee sufficient iron for essential cellular processes and to prevent the production of damaging free radicals. A non‐classical class I MHC molecule, the hemochromatosis factor (HFE), has been shown to regulate iron metabolism, potent
HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis results in hepatic iron overload. Hepatocytes acquire transferrin-bound iron via transferrin receptor (Tfr) 1 and Tfr1-independent pathways (possibly Tfr2-mediated). In this study, the role of Hfe in the regulation of hepatic transferrin-bound iron uptake by th

## Abstract Non‐transferrin bound iron (NTBI) is commonly detected in patients with systemic iron overload whose serum iron‐binding capacity has been surpassed. It has been perceived as an indicator of iron overload, impending organ damage and a chelation target in poly‐transfused thalassemia patie
Transferrin (Tf) is accepted as the iron mobilization protein, but its role in transport of other metals is controversial. In this study, we used mixed glial cultures from hypotransferrinemic (Hp) mice to determine the dependence of these cells on transferrin for iron and manganese delivery and rele
