Current understanding of iron metabolism. Recently, many novel concepts have been established regarding iron metabolism, including ferritinophagy to take out iron from ferritin, cytosolic iron chaperones, PCBP1/2 and Fe(III)-loaded ferritin release via CD63-regulated exosomes. CPN, ceruloplasmin; Dcytb, duodenal cytochrome B; DMT1, divalent metal transporter-1 (SLC11A2); FPN, ferroportin (SLC40A1); TF, transferrin; STEAP3, six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate; TfR1, transferrin receptor-1; PCBP, poly(rC) binding protein; IRE-IRP, iron-responsive element-iron regulatory protein; brown circle as Fe(II); blue circle as Fe(III); green letter, reductase; pink letter, oxidase
