Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state of iron ions at the level of a cell. A process by which iron is solubilized by reduction from Fe3+ to Fe2+ via a cell surface reductase and subsequent transport of the iron across the membrane by iron uptake proteins. A process by which iron is solubilized and transported into a cell. A process by which iron (Fe3+) is solubilized by ferric iron-specific chelators, known as siderophores, excreted by a cell; the iron-siderophore complex is then transported into the cell by specific cell surface receptors. A process by which iron (Fe3+) is solubilized by binding to a receptor or transport protein and transported into a cell. The process of binding or confining iron ions in an extracellular area such that they are separated from other components of a biological system. Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state of divalent or trivalent cations at the level of a cell. Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state of iron ions within an organism or cell.
