Erythroid overproduction of erythroferrone causes iron overload and developmental abnormalities in mice
2021-01-09
Abstract excerpt
The hormone erythroferrone (ERFE) is produced by erythroid cells in response to hemorrhage, hypoxia or other erythropoietic stimuli, and suppresses the hepatic production of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin, thereby mobilizing iron for erythropoiesis. Suppression of hepcidin by ERFE is thought to be mediated by interference with paracrine BMP signaling that regulates hepcidin transcription in hepatocytes. In a...
