A novel hepcidin mutation

Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2023
The bioactive peptide hormone hepcidin-25 regulates iron levels by inhibiting iron transport to plasma via ferroportin. Hepcidin-25 is synthesized in the liver where the 84 amino acids pro-hepcidin is cleaved into the bioactive hepcidin-25. A patient admitted to the hospital presented with infertility and fatigue.Genomic DNA was purified from whole ...

Iron disorders and hepcidin

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2021
Iron is an essential element due to its role in a wide variety of physiological processes. Iron homeostasis is crucial to prevent iron overload disorders as well as iron deficiency anemia. The liver synthesized peptide hormone hepcidin is a master regulator of systemic iron metabolism.

Hepcidin and anaemia

Blood Reviews, 2004
The anaemia of chronic disease (ACD) is a common haematologic syndrome characterized by hypoferraemia with adequate reticuloendothelial iron stores. Frequently, serum ferritin concentration in these patients is elevated. The pathogenesis of ACD involves abnormalities in red cell survival, the erythropoietic response to anaemia, and in iron metabolism ...

Hepcidin in Iron Metabolism

Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2005
Hepcidin, which has been recently identified both by biochemical and genomic approaches, is a 25 amino acid polypeptide synthesized mainly by hepatocytes and secreted into the plasma. Besides its potential activity in antimicrobial defense, hepcidin plays a major role in iron metabolism. It controls two key steps of iron bioavailability, likely through

Hepcidin: immunoanalytic characteristics

Annales de biologie clinique, 2018
Hepcidin has progressively become essential in clinical practice for the diagnosis and follow-up of a large spectrum of diseases. Anyway, its own biochemical and structural characteristics have complicated and delayed the acquisition of a standardized quantifying tool of the peptide.

Hepcidin and IL-1β

2019
Hepcidin expression is determined through transcriptional regulation by systemic iron status. However, acute or chronic inflammation also increases the expression of hepcidin, which is associated with the dysregulation of iron metabolism in pathological conditions.

Chondrostean sturgeon hepcidin: An evolutionary link between teleost and tetrapod hepcidins

Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 2019
Hepcidin, a cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide (AMP), plays key roles as a regulatory hormone in iron homeostasis, providing a link between iron metabolism and innate immunity. Unlike many other AMPs displaying a high degree of sequence variability among closely related organisms, hepcidin is highly conserved from teleosts to mammals.

Hepcidin, the iron watcher

Biochimie, 2009
Hepcidin, a peptide hormone produced by the liver, constitutes the master regulator of iron homeostasis in mammals allowing iron adaptation according to the body iron needs. In recent years there has been important breakthrough in our knowledge of hepcidin regulation that has also implications for understanding the physiopathology of human iron ...

Role of Ferroptosis in ALD: Focusing on Hepcidin and Besides Hepcidin

Current Medicinal Chemistry
Ascending incidence and poor outcomes make Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) a considerable public health concern. This review concluded the iron metabolism under physiology conditions and alcohol disturbance (leading to ferroptosis in ALD) and summarized the novel treatment, diagnosis, and prognosis of ferroptosis

Iron, Hepcidin, and Immunity

Infection involves the utilization of host nutritional resources by the pathogen. Genetic, experimental, and clinical evidence supports the critical role of iron as a focus for both pathogen attack and host defense. The molecular basis of how mammals regulate iron transport to maintain homeostasis, and in response to infection, has been well ...
