BMP signaling modulates hepcidin expression in zebrafish embryos independent of hemojuvelin.

BMP signaling modulates hepcidin expression in zebrafish embryos independent of hemojuvelin.

Hemojuvelin (Hjv), a member of the repulsive-guidance molecule (RGM) family, upregulates transcription of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin by activating the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway in mammalian cells. Mammalian models have identified furin, neogenin, and matriptase-2 a...
