Abstract:
1. Urate, citrate and ATP, which form stable complexes with ferric ions, are proposed to function as low mol. wt iron binding agents in humans. 2. Citrate and ATP were found to readily take up iron from the urate-Fe(III) complex; the study suggests that citrate and ATP may be physiologically more important iron binding agents than urate.
