Metabolism

Metabolism (from με"αβολισμος ("metabolismos")) is the biochemical modification of chemical compounds in living organisms and cells. This includes the biosynthesis of complex organic molecules (anabolism) and their breakdown (catabolism).

Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that occur within cells. A hypothetical metabolic pathway is shown below.
Reactions occur in a sequence and a specific enzyme catalyzes each step.

Regulation of TfR is important to the regulation of iron uptake and metabolism.
The TfR mRNA is unstable when sufficient iron is present in the cell. It is stable (and thus capable of producing more TfR) when iron is deficient (ref).
