  • Identification of the hepcidin binding site on ferroportin
    Patent number: 8530619
    Abstract: The invention relates to materials and procedures for the use of the hepcidin binding domain (HBD) on ferroportin. A 20 amino acid peptide of the HBD was synthesized and shown to recapitulate the characteristics and specificity of hepcidin binding to cell surface ferroportin. The affinity of hepcidin for the HBD peptide permits a rapid, sensitive assay of hepcidin in biological fluids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2008
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2013
    Assignee: University of Utah Research Foundation
