Immunolocalization of Ferroportin in Healthy and Anemic Mice [PDF]
Ferroportin (FPN), the only iron exporter identified to date, participates in iron release from enterocytes and macrophages, regulating its absorption and recycling. We used a murine model of experimental hemolytic anemia to study adaptive changes in the localization of FPN in duodenum, liver, and spleen.

The Role of Copper in the Regulation of Ferroportin Expression in Macrophages
The critical function of ferroportin (Fpn) in maintaining iron homeostasis requires complex and multilevel control of its expression. Besides iron-dependent cellular and systemic control of Fpn expression, other metals also seem to be involved in ...

Evidence for the multimeric structure of ferroportin
Abstract Ferroportin (Fpn) (IREG1, SLC40A1, MTP1) is an iron transporter, and mutations in Fpn result in a genetically dominant form of iron overload disease. Previously, we demonstrated that Fpn is a multimer and that mutations in Fpn are dominant negative.

The flatiron mutation in mouse ferroportin acts as a dominant negative to cause ferroportin disease
Abstract Ferroportin disease is caused by mutation of one allele of the iron exporter ferroportin (Fpn/IREG1/Slc40a1/MTP1). All reported human mutations are missense mutations and heterozygous null mutations in mouse Fpn do not recapitulate the human disease. Here we describe the flatiron (ffe) mouse with a missense mutation (H32R) in

The molecular basis of ferroportin-linked hemochromatosis [PDF]
Mutations in the iron exporter ferroportin (Fpn) (IREG1, SLC40A1 , and MTP1) result in hemochromatosis type IV, a disorder with a dominant genetic pattern of inheritance and heterogeneous clinical presentation. Most patients develop iron loading of Kupffer cells with relatively low saturation

Purpose: The effectiveness of altitude training on haematological adaptations is largely dependent on iron metabolism. Hepcidin and erythroferrone (ERFE) are key iron-regulating hormones, yet their response to altitude training is poorly understood.

Iron deficiency in parkinsonism : region-specific iron dysregulation in Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy [PDF]
Alpha synuclein pathology is widespread and found in diverse cell types in multiple system atrophy (MSA) as compared to Parkinson's disease (PD). The reason for this differential distribution is unknown.

Background & Aims: Hereditary iron overload associated with mutations in the ferroportin gene produces a dichotomy of phenotypes resulting from either increase or decrease in iron efflux capacity.

An essential cell-autonomous role for hepcidin in cardiac iron homeostasis
Hepcidin is the master regulator of systemic iron homeostasis. Derived primarily from the liver, it inhibits the iron exporter ferroportin in the gut and spleen, the sites of iron absorption and recycling respectively.
