THE SERINE PROTEASE MATRIPTASE-2 (TMPRSS6) INHIBITS HEPCIDIN ACTIVATION BY CLEAVING MEMBRANE HEMOJUVELIN

The liver peptide hepcidin regulates body iron, is upregulated in iron overload and inflammation and downregulated in iron deficiency/hypoxia. The transmembrane serine protease matriptase-2 (TMPRSS6) inhibits the hepcidin response and its mutational inactivation causes iron-deficient anemia in mice...
