Molecular and cellular insights into iron regulation

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The iron hormone hepcidin is regarded as the main iron homeostatic regulator in the human body. It is predominantly produced by hepatocytes in response to systemic iron excess. However, since the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in hepcidin expression are not fully understood, this project involved studying hepcidin expression and the role of the pro-region of the hepcidin prohormone in regulation of iro...
