New Cases of Hypochromic Microcytic Anemia Due to Mutations in the SLC11A2 Gene and Functional Characterization of the G75R Mutation
Divalent metal-iron transporter 1 (DMT1) is a mammalian iron transporter encoded by the SLC11A2 gene. DMT1 has a vital role in iron homeostasis by mediating iron uptake in the intestine and kidneys and by recovering iron from recycling endosomes after transferrin endocytosis. Mutations in SLC11A2 ca...
