Translation and mRNA stability Transferrin receptor:uptaked the iron into mammalian cell.When iron is scarce, synthesis of the transferrin receptor is stimulaed. Ferritin:an iron-storage protein.The protein synthesis is selectively stimulated in the presence of iron. Iron-response element:IRE Iron-response element-binding protein: binding with iron will lose the activity to bind with IRE
