Expression of Rgmc, the murine ortholog of hemojuvelin gene, is modulated by development and inflammation, but not by iron status or erythropoietin

Abstract excerpt
Mutations of hepcidin (HAMP) and hemo-juvelin (HJV) genes have been recently demonstrated to result in juvenile hemochromatosis. Expression of HAMP is regulated by iron status or infection, whereas regulation of HJV is yet unknown. Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, we compared expression of Hamp and Rgmc (the murine ortholog of HJV) in livers of mice treated with iron, erythropoietin, or...
