Abstract excerpt
Hepcidin plays a central role in systemic iron metabolism. The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway regulates expression of hepcidin through transcriptional activation via BMP-responsive elements (REs) 1 and 2 on the promoter. Previous studies also revealed that the BMP pathway stimulates transcription of its target genes via GC-rich sequences on the promoter. A search for GC-rich sequences on the hepcidin...
