Iron Metabolism Iron is an essential element in living cells and part of many metabolic pathways including transport and storage of oxygen. Iron uptake mainly occurs in its ferrous form (Fe2+). Oxidized to ferric iron (Fe3+) it is bound to the transport protein transferrin and delivered to target tissues. After endocytosis iron is incorporated into cytochromes, oxygen-binding proteins or enzymes. Excess iron is stored in a protein complex as ferritin, mainly present in liver, spleen and bone marrow. The main amount of iron is found in hemoglobin. Aging erythrocytes undergo phagocytosis...
