Hepc recombinant protein
Recombinant Mouse Hepc
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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.

Uniprot Description
Liver-produced hormone that constitutes the main circulating regulator of iron absorption and distribution across tissues. Acts by promoting endocytosis and degradation of ferroportin, leading to the retention of iron in iron-exporting cells and decreased flow of iron into plasma. Controls the major flows of iron into plasma: absorption of dietary iron in the intestine, recycling of iron by macrophages, which phagocytose old erythrocytes and other cells, and mobilization of stored iron from hepatocytes.

Product Notes
The Hepc hamp (Catalog #AAA7614166) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 23-83. AAA Biotech's Hepc can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Hepc hamp for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Hepc, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
