BMP6 orchestrates iron metabolism

Clara Camaschella. Nat Genet. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

The small liver peptide hepcidin is a major regulator of systemic iron homeostasis in mammals, adapting iron absorption to the body's demands. Two new studies now identify BMP6 as the key endogenous regulator of hepcidin.
