The Iron Chaperone PCBP2 Controls Systemic Iron Homeostasis by Regulating Iron Flux in Red Pulp Macrophages.
Systemic iron homeostasis critically depends on macrophages for the recycling of iron from senescent erythrocytes. The iron chaperone poly(rC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2) is considered to direct intracellular iron trafficking. However, its specific role in macrophage-mediated iron redistribution remains unclear. We show...
