Once in the bloodstream, Fe 2+ is oxidized by ferroxidases (such as ceruloplasmin [Cp] and hephaestin), enabling Fe 3+ to bind to its transporter, transferrin (Trf), which transports iron throughout the body ( 3+ -Trf reaches a target-tissue, it binds to transferrin receptor (TrfR or CD71), which is followed by endocytosis
