Binding of Hepcidin to Plasma Proteins [PDF]
To the Editor: The hepcidin hormone of 25 amino acid residues is a key regulator of iron homeostasis (1). Hepcidin has been shown to bind in vitro to α2-macroglobulin (α2M)1 and albumin in human plasma (2). It is not known, however, to what extent hepcidin is bound to proteins in vivo.

Simvastatin decreases the level of heparin-binding protein in patients with acute lung injury [PDF]
Background: Heparin-binding protein is released by neutrophils during inflammation and disrupts the integrity of the alveolar and capillary endothelial barrier implicated in the development of acute lung injury and systemic organ failure.
