DMT1 is the major iron transporter and contributes non-heme iron uptake in most types of cell. Each DMT1 isoform exhibits different expression patterns in cell-type specificity and distinct subcellular distribution, which enables cells to uptake both transferrin-bound and non-transferrin-bound irons efficiently.

Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 2 (NRAMP 2), also known as divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and divalent cation transporter 1 (DCT1), [5] is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC11A2 (solute carrier family 11, member 2) gene. [6]

2015年6月7日 · In this review, we focus on iron transport in the brain and the role of the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) vital for iron uptake in most cells. DMT1 locates to cellular membranes and endosomal membranes, where it is a key player in non-transferrin bound iron uptake and transferrin-bound iron uptake, respectively.

Divalent metal-ion transporter-1 (DMT1) is a widely-expressed, iron-preferring membrane transport protein. Animal models establish that DMT1 plays indispensable roles in intestinal nonheme iron absorption and iron acquisition by erythroid precursor cells. Rare mutations in human DMT1 result in severe microcytic–hypochromic anemia.

Divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is the first mammalian transmembrane iron transporter to be identified. In 1997, parallel experiments from two groups provided compelling evidence of its function.

The divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is a multimetal transporter with a primary role in iron transport. Although DMT1 has been described previously in the CNS, nothing was known about the role of this metal transporter in oligodendrocyte maturation and myelination.

2019年3月1日 · DMT1 is the major iron transporter and contributes non-heme iron uptake in most types of cell. Each DMT1 isoform exhibits different expression patterns in cell-type specificity and distinct subcellular distribution, which enables cells to uptake both transferrin-bound and non-transferrin-bound irons efficiently.

2018年1月9日 · Uptake of redox-active iron must be tightly controlled, but little is known about how metal ions enter mitochondria. Recently, we established that the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is...

2015年6月8日 · In this review, we focus on iron transport in the brain and the role of the divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) vital for iron uptake in most cells. DMT1 locates to cellular membranes and endosomal membranes, where it is a key player …

The divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is a major iron transporter required for iron absorption and erythropoiesis. Loss of DMT1 function results in microcytic anemia. While iron plays an important role in neural function, the behavioral consequences of DMT1 …
