Summary: This gene encodes hepcidin, an antimicrobial peptide and master hormonal regulator of systemic iron metabolism. The encoded preproprotein is synthesized in the hepatocytes where it undergoes proteolytic processing to generate disulfide-linked mature peptides that are secreted into the bloodstream. Mice lacking the encoded protein develop multivisceral iron overlaod, with sparing of the spleen macrophages. Certain mutations in the human ortholog of this gene cause hemochromatosis type 2B, also known as juvenile hemochromatosis. This gene is located adjacent to a related hepcidin gene on chromosome 7.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
