Structure of the membrane proximal oxidoreductase domain of human Steap3, the dominant ferrireductase of the erythroid transferrin cycle
AK Sendamarai, RS Ohgami… - Proceedings of the …, 2008 - National Acad Sciences
The daily production of 200 billion erythrocytes requires 20 mg of iron, accounting for nearly
80% of the iron demand in humans. Thus, erythroid precursor cells possess an efficient …
