Abstract excerpt
Ferroportin disease is a heterogeneous iron release disorder resulting from mutations in the ferroportin gene. Ferroportin protein is a multitransmembrane domain iron transporter, responsible for iron export from cells, which, in turn, is regulated by the peptide hormone hepcidin. Mutations in th...
