“…At the cellular level, all aspects of iron metabolism, such as absorption, storage, utilization, and export, work in concert to maintain iron homeostasis (Roemhild et al, 2021). It has been reported that transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) (Xie et al, 2023), six‐transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 3 (STEAP3) (Wu et al, 2022), divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) (Shi, Xue, et al, 2023), nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) (Y. H. Tang, Wu, et al, 2023), and heme oxygenase 1 (HO‐1) (Shi, Wang, et al, 2023) are the key players involved in iron metabolism, whose dysregulation makes cells more sensitive to ferroptosis by increasing intracellular iron levels. In the case of NCOA4, high intraocular pressure induces ferroptosis in retinal ganglion cells by promoting NCOA4‐mediated ferritin degradation, which leads to permanent vision damage during glaucoma (F. Yao et al, 2023).…”
