Bone morphogenetic protein signaling by hemojuvelin regulates hepcidin expression

Hepcidin is a key regulator of systemic iron homeostasis. Hepcidin deficiency induces iron overload, whereas hepcidin excess induces anemia. Mutations in the gene encoding hemojuvelin ( HFE2 , also known as HJV ) cause severe iron overload and correlate with low hepcidin levels, suggesting that hemo...
