Hepcidin-20 consists of the disulfide Bonds: Cys2-Cys18, Cys5-Cys8, Cys6-Cys14, and Cys9-Cys17 and is available in the trifluoroacetate salt form. Hepcidin-20 is a truncated form of the peptide hormone hepcidin-25, which plays a key role in the regulation of iron metabolism in the body. It is produced by the liver and is secreted into the bloodstream.
Hepcidin has the ability to regulate the activity of ferroportin, a protein that facilitates the export of iron from cells into the bloodstream. It binds to ferroportin and inhibits its activity, leading to decreased iron absorption from the diet and reduced iron release from cells.
The biological significance of hepcidin-20 is still being studied, but it may be involved in the regulation of iron metabolism in certain situations, such as inflammation or certain disease states. Like hepcidin-25, hepcidin-20 is a target for the development of treatments for iron-related disorders, such as anemia of chronic disease and hemochromatosis.
