Figure 2. Specialized transport proteins and receptors involved in the absorption of cadmium. Cd from foods is absorbed via transport proteins for iron (DMT1), zinc (ZIP14), copper (ATP7A), and calcium (TRPV6)[43]. In addition, CdMT and Cd/PC can be absorbed through the neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin 2 (NGAL2). Cd: Cadmium.
