Abstract excerpt
Ferroportin 1 (FPN1) is a major facilitator superfamily transporter that is essential for proper maintenance of human iron homeostasis at the systemic and cellular level. FPN1 dysfunction leads to the progressive accumulation of iron in reticuloendothelial cells, causing hemochromatosis type 4A (or ferroportin disease), an autosomal dominant disorder that displays large phenotypic heterogeneity. Although crystal...
