2 Figure 1 Homeostatic regulation of plasma iron
Ferroportin functions as a hepcidin-regulated valve that controls the efflux of recycled, dietary, and stored iron into plasma transferrin. In turn, hepcidin levels are controlled by an as yet undefined plasma iron sensor. Oxygen and inflammatory cytokines also regulate hepcidin.
