Iron and copper are essential nutrients that must be meticulously regulated to exploit their usefulness in biological reactions while protecting against their tendency to promote formation of toxic free-radicals. This review summarizes recently described steps in the transport of these metals, and explores how defects in these steps lead to human diseases including hemochromatosis, Menkes disease and Wilson disease.
