Tissue‐Specific Regulation of Ferroportin in Wild‐Type and Hjv‐/‐ Mice Following Dietary Iron Manipulations

Angeliki Katsarou, Konstantinos Gkouvatsos, Carine Fillebeen, Kostas Pantopoulos – 15 July 2021 – Hepcidin is a liver‐derived peptide hormone that limits iron egress from tissues to the bloodstream. It operates by binding to the iron exporter ferroportin, which blocks iron transport and tags ferroportin for degradation. Genetic hepcidin inactivation leads to hereditary hemochromatosis, a disease of iron overload. We used wild‐type and Hjv‐/‐ mice, a model of hemochromatosis, to examine the expression of ferroportin and other proteins of iron metabolism in hepcidin target tissues.
