IRP2 in mitochondria required for accumulation of toxic levels of iron in cigarette smokers having COPD
Just like almost every other disease (except for Mendelian autosomal or recessive disorders), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is linked to both cigarette smoking and genetic determinants. Iron-responsive element–binding protein-2 (IRP2) was previusly identified as an important COPD susceptibility gene. … Continue reading
