Iron insufficiency compromises motor neurons and their mitochondrial function in Irp2-null mice.

Iron insufficiency compromises motor neurons and their mitochondrial function in Irp2-null mice.

Genetic ablation of Iron Regulatory Protein 2 (Irp2, Ireb2), which post-transcriptionally regulates iron metabolism genes, causes a gait disorder in mice that progresses to hind-limb paralysis. Here we have demonstrated that misregulation of iron metabolism from loss of Irp2 causes lower motor neuro...
