Description

The liver expressed proteins matriptase‐2 (MT‐2, encoded by TMPRSS6 ), HFE and Transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2) play important roles in systemic iron homeostasis by regulating the expression of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin in the liver. Mutations in TMPRSS6 lead to iron refractory iron deficiency anaemia, whereas mutations in HFE and TFR2 lead to hereditary hemochromatosis. We generated mice lacking various combinations of Tmprss6 , Hfe and Tfr2 to further elucidate the potentially competing roles of these proteins in hepcidin regulation, iron homeostasis and erythropoiesis.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
