NCIt definition : Hepcidin-25 (25 aa, 3 kDa) is encoded by the human HAMP gene. This protein plays
a role in the regulation of iron hemostasis through binding to and promoting the degradation
of the iron transport protein ferroportin (SLC40A1).;
NCIt note : Hepcidin-25 is comprised of amino acid residues 60-84, which are the last 25 carboxyl-terminal
residues of full length hepcidin.;
