Abstract excerpt
Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is responsible for dietary-iron absorption from apical plasma membrane in the duodenum and iron acquisition from the transferrin cycle endosomes in peripheral tissues. Two isoforms of the DMT1 transcript generated by alternative splicing of the 3' exons have been identified in mouse, rat, and human. These isoforms can be distinguished by the different C-terminal amino acid...
