Metabolic iron detection through divalent metal transporter 1 and ferroportin mediated cocktail fluorogenic probes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Aug 10;57(64):7902-7905. doi: 10.1039/d1cc03150c.

Abstract

A cocktail [1 + 2] dual-fluorescent probe system was developed to realize the real-time visualization of dynamic iron state changes between Fe2+ and Fe3+ at the cellular level and in multicellular organisms, providing insights into the effect of DMT1 and ferroportin on iron regulation.
