Globin units further digested into amino acids: the heme is soluble in si and is transported into the enterocytes by heme carrier protein 1 (hcp1). Heme hydrolyzed in enterocyte, releasing fe2: once in the enterocyte, fe2+ is bound to mobiliferrin and transported across enterocyte. Alternatively fe3+ nound to the paraferritin complex and reduced to. Iron binds to ferroprotin, releasing it our of the cell, across the blm wih the aid of hephaestin, a cu2+ containing/dependent protein that oxidizes fe2+ fe3+ so that. Fe3+ binds to apotransferrin, forming transferring, which can carry up to 2 fe3+ atoms for transport in blood.
