MeSH Heading: Iron-Regulatory Proteins
Tree Number(s): D12.776.494
Unique ID: D035925
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D035925
Scope Note: Proteins that regulate cellular and organismal iron homeostasis. They play an important biological role by maintaining iron levels that are adequate for metabolic need, but below the toxicity threshold.
Entry Term(s): IRE-BP; IRE-Binding Protein; Iron Regulatory Factor; Iron Response Protein; Iron-Regulatory Protein; Iron-Response Proteins; Iron-Responsive Element Binding Proteins; Iron-Responsive Elements-Binding Protein
Previous Indexing: Carrier Proteins (1990); Iron-Sulfur Proteins (1991-2002); Ribonucleoproteins (1992-2002)
Public MeSH Note: 2003; IRON REGULATORY FACTOR now IRON-REGULATORY PROTEINS was indexed under RNA-BINDING PROTEINS & IRON-SULFUR PROTEINS 1991-2002, CARRIER PROTEINS 1990
