The transport of molecules by nonspecific endocytosis has been described in many cell types, but it has not been characterized in hepatocytes. Because of its central role in the clearance of solutes from portal blood, endocytosis might represent a significant mode of cellular transport. We investiga

The mechanism of iron uptake from transferrin by the rat placenta in culture has been studied. Transferrin endocytosis preceded iron accumulation by the cells. Both transferrin internalisation and iron uptake were inhibited by low temperature. Transferrin endocytosis was less susceptible to the effe
## Abstract Astrocytes are considered to play an important role in iron homeostasis of the brain, yet the mechanisms involved in the uptake of iron into astrocytes remain elusive. To investigate the uptake of iron into astrocytes, we have applied ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) to rat astrocyteβrich
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
