New Advances in Iron Metabolism, Ferritin and Hepcidin Research

Int J Mol Sci. 2022 Nov 25;23(23):14700. doi: 10.3390/ijms232314700.

Abstract

The interest in the regulation of iron metabolism has increased in recent years with the clarification of the mechanism by which hepcidin regulates systemic iron homeostasis and the discovery of ferritinophagy, the major mechanism of ferritin degradation, which plays a major role in intracellular iron homeostasis and ferroptosis [...].
