Hepcidin is regulated by promoter-associated histone acetylation and HDAC3
Hepcidin regulates systemic iron homeostasis. Suppression of hepcidin expression occurs physiologically in iron deficiency (ID) and increased erythropoiesis but is pathologic in thalassaemia and haemochromatosis. Here we show that epigenetic events govern hepcidin expression. Erythropoiesis and ID s...
