Function

Iron-regulatory hormone that acts as an erythroid regulator after hemorrhage: produced by erythroblasts following blood loss and mediates suppression of hepcidin (HAMP) expression in the liver, thereby promoting increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores. Promotes lipid uptake into adipocytes and hepatocytes via transcriptional up-regulation of genes involved in fatty acid uptake.

Protein Biology

Function

Iron-regulatory hormone that acts as an erythroid regulator after hemorrhage: produced by erythroblasts following blood loss and mediates suppression of hepcidin (HAMP) expression in the liver, thereby promoting increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores (PubMed:24880340, PubMed:30097509, PubMed:31800957, PubMed:34002695). Promotes lipid uptake into adipocytes and hepatocytes via transcriptional up-regulation of genes involved in fatty acid uptake (PubMed:22351773). Inhibits apoptosis and inflammatory response in cardiomyocytes via promotion of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and cAMP-dependent activation of AKT signaling (PubMed:30566056). Inhibits autophagy induced by nutrient deficiency in hepatocytes via promoting the phosphorylation of IRS1, AKT, and MTOR, and thereby subsequent activation of the AKT-MTOR signaling pathway (PubMed:24187137). Negatively regulates the differentiation of osteoblasts, potentially via sequestering BMP2, and thereby inhibits the activation of SMAD signaling (PubMed:34002695). The reduction in BMP2 signaling in osteoblasts also results in an increase in expression of the osteoclastogenesis-promoting factors TNFSF11/RANKL and SOST, thereby indirectly promotes bone resorption (PubMed:34002695)

Secreted

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the soleus muscle in the leg (at protein level) (PubMed:22351773, PubMed:30566056). Found in blood (at protein level) (PubMed:22351773, PubMed:24187137). Weakly expressed in the heart (at protein level) (PubMed:22351773, PubMed:30566056). Predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and, at much lower levels, in other tissues, including lung, eye, smooth muscle, brain and kidney (PubMed:22351773, PubMed:24187137). Within skeletal muscles, higher expression levels in soleus as compared with plantaris (PubMed:22351773). Expressed in osteoblasts, mature osteoclasts and erythroblasts (PubMed:34002695). When fasting, females tend to have higher circulating levels than males (PubMed:22351773). Obese mice tend to have lower expression and circulating levels as compared to lean animals (PubMed:22351773). Following EPO treatment, only expressed in bone marrow and spleen (PubMed:24880340)

Subunit

Homodimer; disulfide-linked (PubMed:22351773). Forms trimer, hexamers and higher molecular weight oligomers (PubMed:32602701). May form heteromeric complexes with C1QTNF2 and C1QTNF12 and, to a lesser extent, with C1QTNF5 and C1QTNF10 (PubMed:22351773). Interacts with BMP5 and BMP7; the interaction inhibits BMP-induced transcription of HAMP (PubMed:30097509). Interacts with BMP6; the interaction inhibits BMP-induced transcription of HAMP (PubMed:30097509, PubMed:31800957). Interacts with BMP2 (PubMed:31800957). Interacts with heterodimers composed of BMP2 and BMP6 in vitro, the interaction inhibits the heterodimer binding to its receptor BMPR1A /ALK3 and thereby suppresses expression of HAMP (PubMed:31800957)
