Control of Systemic Iron Homeostasis by the 3’ Iron-Responsive Element of Divalent Metal Transporter 1 in Mice
2020-02-20
Abstract excerpt
Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is essential for dietary iron assimilation and erythroid iron acquisition. The 3’ untranslated region of the murine DMT1 mRNA contains an iron responsive element (IRE) that is conserved in humans but whose functional role remains unclear. We generated and analyzed mice with targeted disruption of the DMT1 3’IRE. These animals display hypoferremia during the suckling period, asso...
