Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro443 of human SLC40A1/Ferroportin-1 protein. Background Ferroportin-1 (FPN1), also known as solute carrier family 40 member 1 (SLC40A1) or iron-regulated transporter 1 (IREG1), is a multi-pass membrane protein that transports iron from the inside of the cell into the blood. As the only known iron exporter, FPN1 is critical for maintaining systemic iron homeostasis (1). FPN1 activity is regulated by hepcidin, a peptide hormone secreted by the liver in response to iron loading and inflammation. Circulating hepcidin binds to FPN1 and induces its internalization and degradation, thereby reducing iron efflux to the plasma (2,3). Expression of FPN1 may also be regulated post-transcriptionally by several microRNAs that directly target its 3' untranslated region (4-6). Mutations in the gene encoding FPN1 are associated with type IV hemochromatosis (7) as well as several neural tube and patterning defects, including spina bifida, exencephaly, and forebrain truncations (8). Loss of FPN1 in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse models and patients has been shown to promote ferroptosis, leading to neuronal death and memory impairment. Therefore, targeting of FPN1 may be a promising therapeutic approach for AD (9).
