Biliary excretion of excess iron in mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Iron is an essential nutrient yet toxic in excess. Our understanding of mammalian mechanisms of dietary iron absorption exceeds our understanding of mechanisms of iron excretion. Here we demonstrate that biliary excretion of excess iron in mice requires the metal transporter SLC39A14 and that excess Fe is excreted into bile as ferritin and heme. The identification of a molecular determinant of iron excretion and the biochemical form of bile iron could lead to development of novel therapeutics for human diseases of iron excess
