  2. HFE (gene) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFE_(gene)

    It is thought that this protein functions to regulate circulating iron uptake by regulating the interaction of the transferrin receptor with transferrin. [6] The HFE gene contains 7 exons spanning 12 kb. [7] The full-length transcript represents 6 exons. [8] HFE protein is composed of 343 amino acids. There are several components, in sequence ...

  3. Human iron metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_iron_metabolism

    The absorption of dietary iron is a variable and dynamic process. The amount of iron absorbed compared to the amount ingested is typically low, but may range from 5% to as much as 35% depending on circumstances and type of iron. The efficiency with which iron is absorbed varies depending on the source.

  4. Hepcidin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepcidin

    Hepcidin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAMP gene. Hepcidin is a key regulator of the entry of iron into the circulation in mammals. [6]During conditions in which the hepcidin level is abnormally high, such as inflammation, serum iron falls due to iron trapping within macrophages and liver cells and decreased gut iron absorption.

  5. Duodenal cytochrome B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodenal_cytochrome_B

    Duodenal cytochrome B (Dcytb) also known as cytochrome b reductase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYBRD1 gene.. Dcytb CYBRD1 was first identified as a ferric reductase enzyme which catalyzes the reduction of Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ required for dietary iron absorption in the duodenum of mammals. [5]

  6. Iron in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_in_biology

    Absorption of dietary iron in iron salt form (as in most supplements) varies somewhat according to the body's need for iron, and is usually between 10% and 20% of iron intake. Absorption of iron from animal products, and some plant products, is in the form of heme iron, and is more efficient, allowing absorption of from 15% to 35% of intake.
