Seems to act as a signaling molecule involved in the maintenance of iron homeostasis. Seems to be required in conjunction with HFE to regulate both intestinal iron absorption and iron storage in macrophages. May also have antimicrobial activity.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Pig Hepcidin
Subcellular Location
Secreted
Detection Range
0.78-50ng/mL
Entryname
HEPC_PIG
Linearity
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of HEPC and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Intra-Assay CV: ≤5.4%
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):Three samples of known concentration were tested in five separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.
Inter-Assay CV: ≤8.9%
Protein Name
Hepcidin
Recovery
Recovery was determined by spiking various levels of HEPC into serum and plasma .
