2 Figure 1 Iron homeostasis, primary hemochromatosis, and iron-overload cardiomyopathy. (A) Molecular mechanism of iron homeostasis. (B) Accumulation of non–transferrin-bound (NTBI) iron (Fe) in hereditary hemochromatosis. (C) Development of diastolic dysfunction and iron-overload cardiomyopathy caused by excess NTBI. BMP, bone morphogenetic protein; BMPR, BMP receptor; HFE, human hemochromatosis protein; HJV, hemojuvelin; mtDNA, mitochondrial DNA; TfR1 and TfR2, transferrin receptors 1 and 2, respectively.
