Abstract: The level of iron in our blood is controlled by tightly regulating the amount of iron that is absorbed through the gut wall. This is a two-step process — iron is taken up in cells called enterocytes that line the gut, and then exported from the enterocytes into the bloodstream. The transport protein responsible for this second phase has now been identified.
