Abstract excerpt
Hemojuvelin (HJV) regulates iron homeostasis by direct interaction with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) ligands to induce hepcidin expression through the BMP signaling pathway in the liver. Crystallography studies indicate that HJV can simultaneously bind to both BMP2 and the ubiquitously expressed cell surface receptor neogenin. However, the role of the neogenin-HJV interaction in the function of HJV is...
