Category:GO:0061840 ! high-affinity ferrous iron transmembrane transporter activity

name: high-affinity ferrous iron transmembrane transporter activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Enables the transfer of ferrous iron (Fe(II) or Fe2+) ions from one side of a membrane to the other. In high-affinity transport the transporter is able to bind the solute even if it is only present at very low concentrations." [GOC:bhm, PMID:9413439]
