“…Epithelial Antigen of Prostate 3 (STEAP3) enzyme, Divalent Metal Transporter 1 (DMT1), and Nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) ( Gryzik et al, 2021 ), Membrane iron transport protein 1 (Ferroportin1, FPN1), Ferritin, Promimin 2, Ceruloplasmin (CP), etc. are involved in the transport to cells and participate in the reaction in vivo ( Scarpellini et al, 2023 ; Zhang et al, 2024a ). However, the excess of Fe 2+ in the organism under certain pathological conditions, on the one hand, induces the accumulation of ROS in the body through the Fenton reaction; on the other hand, iron participates in the catalytic process of metabolic enzymes, such as LOX, as a cofactor of various phospholipid peroxidases, which in turn accelerates lipid peroxidation and induces ferroptosis ( Du and Guo, 2022 ; Sun et al, 2023 ) (e.g., Figure 1 ).…”
