Hepcidin is a hormone that is produced by the liver in response to iron overload and regulates iron uptake in the gastrointestinal tract. Hepcidin binds to ferroportin, the protein that transports iron across the enterocyte cell membrane, and mediates internalization of ferroportin. Interestingly Hepcidin also displays antimicrobial activity as it reduces the amount the iron available to pathogens invading the body.
