Hepcidin-1 (mouse) (TFA)(CAT: I040977) is a key iron-regulating peptide hormone that controls systemic iron homeostasis by binding to ferroportin, the main iron exporter, leading to its degradation and reducing iron release into circulation. This mechanism is critical in preventing iron overload and regulating iron availability during inflammation and infection. Hepcidin dysregulation is linked to anemia of chronic disease, hemochromatosis, and iron-deficiency anemia. As a research tool, Hepcidin-1 (mouse) (TFA) aids in studying iron metabolism disorders and inflammation-related conditions. Given its function, it is most relevant to Metabolic Disease Research and Inflammation & Immunology Research, particularly in iron-associated diseases.
