Effect of Recombinant Human Erythroferrone Protein on Hepcidin Gene (<i>Hamp1</i>) Expression in HepG2 and HuH7 Cells

Iron is essential for all living organisms. It is strictly controlled by iron transporters, transferrin receptors, ferroportin and hepcidin. Erythroferrone (ERFE) is an iron-regulatory hormone which is highly expressed in erythroblasts by erythropoietin (EPO) stimulation and osteoblasts independentl...
