MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : iron-regulatory protein; iron regulatory protein; iron regulatory factor; regulatory factor, iron; iron-response proteins; iron response proteins; iron regulatory proteins; Iron Response Protein; Protein, Iron Response; Response Protein, Iron;
MeSH hyponym : Iron-Responsive element binding proteins; Iron Responsive Element Binding Proteins; IRE-BP; Iron-Responsive Elements-Binding Protein; Iron Responsive Elements Binding Protein; IRE-Binding Protein; IRE Binding Protein;
