Hepcidin
Videos
Hepcidin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAMP gene. Hepcidin is a key regulator of the entry of iron into the circulation in mammals.
Solution structure of hepcidin-25.
Diagram showing how hepcidin controls ferroportin (FPN) levels which in turn control entry of iron into the circulation
