84-1044-86　Hepcidin, CT, 13aa (Hepc, LEAP, Hepatic Bactericidal Protein, Liver Expressed Antimicrobial Peptide) 100ug　H2008-54

特徴

• Hepcidin (Hepc, hepatic bactericidal protein) or LEAP (liver expressed antimicrobial peptide) is a small, cysteine-rich peptide, antimicrobial peptide similar to defensins and thionins.
• Hepcidin (unprocessed, proprotein in mouse 83aa, rat/human 84aa) are almost exclusively produced in liver.
• Human hepcidin is produced from an 84aa precursor, including a putative 24aa signal peptide.
• The secreted form of hepcidin in blood and urine is consists of C-terminal 20, 22 or 25aa residues.
• The link between hepcidins and iron metabolism is that hepcidin expression is abolished in mice exhibiting iron-overload due to the targeted disruption of USF2 (upstream stimulatory factor 2) gene resembling the situation in hfe-/- mice.
• The human gene is located at chromosome 19, in close proximity with Usf2 gene.
• Hepcidin levels are increased in iron loading and in beta-2 microglobulin knockout mice.
• Hepcidins are devoid of IRE.
• Like other antimicrobial peptides, hepcidin is upregulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
• Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA.
• Other applications not tested.
