The iron transport protein Nramp2 is an integral membrane glycoprotein that colocalizes with transferrin in recycling endosomes. J Exp Med. 189:1999;831-841. Immunolocalization of Nramp2 with isoform-specific antibodies to transferrin-positive early endosomes implicates Nramp2 as the endosomal iron transporter. Nramp1 and Nramp2 are expressed in distinct subcellular compartments of macrophages.

Blood. 93:1999;4406-4417. Nramp2 is localized to the brush border of absorptive epithelium cells of the intestine. The demonstration of a striking upregulation of Nramp2 protein in the intestine upon iron deficiency is strong evidence that Nramp2 is the major transferrin-independent intestinal iron uptake protein.

Injection of iron in vivo increases susceptibility to infection with Mycobacterium avium, and reduces the genetic advantage of mice bearing a wild-type allele at Nramp1 (G169) over their mutant Nramp 1 D169 counterpart. This indirectly suggests that Nramp1 could be an iron transporter.
