High impact information on Hamp2

  • These data provide evidence that hepc2 does not act on iron metabolism like hepc1 and give clues for the identification of amino acids important for the iron-regulatory action of the mature 25-amino acid peptide [1].
  • Hepc2 transgenic mRNA level was found to be very high for all lines compared with the level of hepc1 transgene mRNA necessary to produce severe anemia [1].
 

Biological context of Hamp2

 

Other interactions of Hamp2

  • The aim of this study was to examine possible differences in the expression of hepcidin genes (Hamp and Hamp2) between the two strains [3].
