摘要
Mutations in hemojuvelin disrupt its ability to stimulate expression of the iron regulatory peptide hepcidin and result in the severe iron loading disorder juvenile hemochromatosis. A new study shows that hemojuvelin acts through the multifunctional bone morphogenetic protein pathway to modulate hepcidin levels, providing new insights into communication within a key physiological pathway.
