Transferrin-mediated cellular iron uptake.

S Irie, M Tavassoli

    The American Journal of the Medical Sciences
    |February 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cellular iron uptake primarily uses transferrin (Tf) binding to cell receptors, followed by internalization and pH-dependent iron release. Advances in molecular biology are clarifying these iron transport mechanisms.
