Disease relevance of HAMP

 

High impact information on HAMP

  • Hepcidin, a peptide hormone (HAMP; OMIM 606464), seems to act in the same regulatory pathway as HFE [7].
  • Although expression of mouse Hamp is normally greater during iron overload, Hfe-/- mice have inappropriately low expression of Hamp [7].
  • Increased serum concentrations of the hepcidin precursor prohepcidin were paralleled by a decreased expression of the iron exporter ferroportin in circulating monocytes of ACD patients [8].
  • It is most often caused by mutations in the HJV gene and rarely in the HAMP gene [9].
  • These results revealed that mutations in HAMP might increase the phenotypic expression of the pC282Y/pC282Y genotype [10].

Associations of HAMP with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of HAMP

  • RESULTS: The overall level of hepatic HAMP expression in human and murine HFE-related hemochromatosis is impaired but can still be modulated by iron stores [2].
  • Moreover, we demonstrate an HFE-independent correlation between the expression of HAMP and TFR2 in mouse and human livers [2].
  • Juvenile GH is a rare condition related principally to mutations of the HJV gene coding for hemojuvelin, and rarely to mutations of the HAMP gene coding for hepcidin [20].
  • Ferroportin and TFR2 mutations also cause HH, and two HAMP mutations have recently been reported that causes juvenile haemochromatosis (JH) in the homozygous state [13].
  • IL-1 and IL-6, which are important in HAMP augmentation in hepatocytes, also did not affect HAMP expression in alveolar macrophages [16].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HAMP

  • Animal models indicate that the antimicrobial peptide hepcidin (HAMP; OMIM 606464) is probably a key regulator of iron absorption in mammals [21].
  • In this study, using random and site-directed mutagenesis, we identified the distal helix, AS-2, as the component of the HAMP domain that stabilizes FAD binding [19].
  • By electrophoretic mobility shift assay we demonstrated that one putative C/EBP element found in the human HEPC promoter (-250/-230) predominantly bound C/EBPalpha from rat liver nuclear extracts [22].
  • RESULTS: A total of 164 maxillary molars were examined, providing 328 interproximal furcations; 111 (33.8%) furcations were determined at surgical debridement to have a furcation invasion of Hamp degree 1 or greater [23].
  • The authors conclude that PLTR from a living donor is a promising therapeutic alternative to liver transplantation from a cadaver [24].
