Identification of Antibody and Small Molecule Antagonists of Ferroportin-Hepcidin Interaction
The iron exporter ferroportin and its ligand, the hormone hepcidin, control fluxes of stored and recycled iron for use in a variety of essential biochemical processes. Inflammatory disorders and malignancies are often associated with high hepcidin levels,

Deubiquitinase USP35 modulates ferroptosis in lung cancer via targeting ferroportin
Background Ferroptosis is essential to regulate tumor growth and serves as a promising therapeutic target to lung cancer. Ubiquitin‐specific protease 35 (USP35) belongs to the deubiquitinases family that is associated with cell proliferation and mitosis.

Background and Aims: Hepatic iron overload always leads to oxidative stress, which has been found to be involved in the progression of liver disease. However, whether iron disorder is involved in acute liver disease and the further molecular mechanisms ...

Background Expression of the iron exporter ferroportin at the plasma membrane of macrophages is enhanced by iron loading and is decreased by hepcidin. We previously showed that ferroportin is present in specific cell surface domains suggestive of lipid ...

Molecular Mechanism of Hepcidin-Mediated Ferroportin Internalization Requires Ferroportin Lysines, Not Tyrosines or JAK-STAT [PDF]
Ferroportin is the primary means of cellular iron efflux and a key component of iron metabolism. Hepcidin regulates Fpn activity by inducing its internalization and degradation. The mechanism of internalization is reported to require JAK2 activation, phosphorylation of Fpn tyrosine residues 302 and 303, and initiation of transcription through STAT3 ...

Heme Oxygenase Induction Suppresses Hepatic Hepcidin and Rescues Ferroportin and Ferritin Expression in Obese Mice [PDF]
Hepcidin, a phase II reactant secreted by hepatocytes, regulates cellular iron levels by increasing internalization of ferroportin-a transmembrane protein facilitating egress of cellular iron.

Background Macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system play a key role in recycling iron from hemoglobin of senescent or damaged erythrocytes. Heme oxygenase 1 degrades the heme moiety and releases inorganic iron that is stored in ferritin or exported ...

Hepcidin and iron homeostasis during pregnancy. [PDF]
Hepcidin is the master regulator of systemic iron bioavailability in humans. This review examines primary research articles that assessed hepcidin during pregnancy and postpartum and report its relationship to maternal and infant iron status and birth ...

Iron overloading disorders linked to mutations in ferroportin have diverse phenotypes in vivo, and the effects of mutations on ferroportin in vitro range from loss of function (LOF) to gain of function (GOF) with hepcidin resistance.

Ferroportin: Lack of evidence for multimers
Ferroportin is a multi-transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates iron export from cells. Mutations in ferroportin are linked to type IV hemochromatosis, a dominantly inherited disorder of iron metabolism. Multimers of ferroportin, whose existence may relate to the dominant inheritance pattern of disease, have been detected in some studies but not others.
