Intestinal Absorption of Hemoglobin Iron-Heme Cleavage by Mucosal Heme Oxygenase
Hemoglobin and myoglobin are a major source of dietary iron in man. Heme, separated from these hemoproteins by intraluminal proteolysis, is absorbed intact by the intestinal mucosa. The absorbed heme is cleaved in the mucosal cell releasing inorganic iron. Although this mucosal heme-splitting activi...
