Hemojuvelin-Neogenin Interaction Is Required for Bone Morphogenic Protein-4-induced Hepcidin Expression [PDF]
Hemojuvelin (HJV) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked protein and binds both bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) and neogenin. Cellular HJV acts as a BMP co-receptor to enhance the transcription of hepcidin, a key iron regulatory hormone secreted ...

Comparison of the Interactions of Transferrin Receptor and Transferrin Receptor 2 with Transferrin and the Hereditary Hemochromatosis Protein HFE [PDF]
The transferrin receptor (TfR) interacts with two proteins important for iron metabolism, transferrin (Tf) and HFE, the protein mutated in hereditary hemochromatosis.

Ironing out the details: Untangling dietary iron and genetic background in diabetes [PDF]
The search for genetic risk factors in type-II diabetes has been hindered by a failure to consider dietary variables. Dietary nutrients impact metabolic disease risk and severity and are essential to maintaining metabolic health.

Prognostic Factors and Survival in Patients with Hereditary Hemochromatosis and Cirrhosis
OBJECTIVES: The survival of treated, noncirrhotic patients with hereditary hemochromatosis is similar to that of the general population. Less is known about the outcome of cirrhotic hereditary hemochromatosis patients.

The Arthropathy of Hemochromatosis Without Hemochromatosis [PDF]
AbstractA 65‐year‐old man and his 62‐year‐old sister presented with joint pains and were found to have chondrocalcinosis. Both had elevations of serum iron and an increased saturation of iron binding protein. Biopsies revealed hemosiderin deposits in the parenchymal cells of the liver of both patients and the lining cells of the synovium of one ...
