1 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), a disease marked by chronic iron overload from insufficient expression of the hormone hepcidin, is one of the most common genetic diseases. One form of HH (type III) results from mutations in transferrin receptor-2 (TfR2). TfR2 is postulated to be a part of signaling system that is capable of modulating hepcidin expression. However, the molecular details of TfR2's role in this...
