Manganese transporter SLC30A10 and iron transporters SLC40A1 and SLC11A2 impact dietary manganese absorption

Milankumar Prajapati, Jared Z. Zhang, Grace S Chong, Lauren Chiu, Courtney J. Mercadante, Heather L. Kowalski, Olga A. Antipova, Barry Chi Hong Lai, Martina Ralle, Brian P. Jackson, Tracy Punshon, Shuling Guo, Mariam Aghajan, Thomas Benedict Bartnikas

The paper shows that SLC30A10 deficiency leads to increased manganese absorption via iron transporters SLC11A2 and SLC40A1, contributing to manganese excess and disease.

Hypoxia-inducible factor 2 is a key determinant of manganese excess and polycythemia in SLC30A10 deficiency

Milankumar Prajapati, Jared Z. Zhang, Courtney J. Mercadante, Heather L. Kowalski, Bradley Delaney, Jessica A. Anderson, Shuling Guo, Mariam Aghajan, Thomas Benedict Bartnikas

This study identifies HIF2 as a key driver of erythropoietin excess and polycythemia in SLC30A10 deficiency by linking manganese toxicity to altered hepatic gene expression and hepcidin regulation.
