    Iron Supply via NCOA4-Mediated Ferritin Degradation Maintains Mitochondrial Functions

    Iron is an essential nutrient for mitochondrial metabolic processes, including mitochondrial respiration. Ferritin complexes store excess iron and protect cells from iron toxicity. Therefore, iron stored in the ferritin complex might be utilized under iron-depleted conditions.
