Abstract excerpt
Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1 also known as DCT1, NRAMP2 or SCL11A2) is a membrane-bound divalent metal transporter which is conserved from prokaryotes to higher eukaryotes. It has been postulated to play important roles in intestinal iron absorption at the brush border of duodenal enterocytes, erythroid iron utilization, hepatic iron accumulation, placental iron transfer, and other processes.
