Brief description The control of iron levels is important in health and well being. Too little can lead to iron deficiency and anaemia, conversly too much can lead to haemochromatosis and tissue damage. We will examine the role of two proteins, matriptase-2 and hemojuvelin that when mutated cause iron deficiency or iron overload respectively. We will study how these proteins interact and work in opposite directions to control iron levels. The results will help to develop new therapeutics for iron disorders.
