Question: what is bioactive hepcidin 25?
Answer: Hepcidin is an iron homoeostasis regulator peptide. The bioactive peptide Hepcidin-25 is generated predominantly in the liver by proteolytic cleavage of the C-terminal 25 amino acids of prohepcidin. ... In addition, low Hepcidin-25 concentration can be induced by iron loading anemias and chronic hepatitis C.
