Glycine, Ferritin Turnover, and Lens Iron Homeostasis
2026-09-11
The reference study identifies excessive lysosome-dependent ferritin degradation as a driver of iron imbalance in UVB-stressed lens epithelial cells. It further shows that glycine acts through lysosomal PAT1, Nrf2, NCOA4, and PCBP2-linked iron handling, offering a mechanistic framework for studying ferroptosis-related cataract development.
