Abstract
Iron balance is tightly controlled to provide adequate amounts of this essential nutrient, but to limit the adverse effects of excess iron. Key mediators of systemic iron homeostasis are the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin and its receptor, the iron export protein ferroportin. A new study by Mohammad etal. demonstrates the functional role of the hepcidin-ferroportin axis in the kidney, and how this contributes to kidney iron levels and the systemic iron economy.
