[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HEPC_HUMAN HEPC_HUMAN]] Defects in HAMP are the cause of hemochromatosis type 2B (HFE2B) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/613313 613313]]; also known as juvenile hemochromatosis (JH). HFE2B is a disorder of iron metabolism with excess deposition of iron in the tissues, bronze skin pigmentation, hepatic cirrhosis, arthropathy and diabetes. The most common symptoms of hemochromatosis type 2 at presentation are hypogonadism and cardiomyopathy.<ref>PMID:14633868</ref><ref>PMID:12915468</ref><ref>PMID:14630809</ref><ref>PMID:14670915</ref><ref>PMID:15099344</ref> | |||
==Function== | |||
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HEPC_HUMAN HEPC_HUMAN]] 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 (By similarity).<ref>PMID:11034317</ref> Has strong antimicrobial activity against E.coli ML35P N.cinerea and weaker against S.epidermidis, S.aureus and group b streptococcus bacteria. Active against the fungus C.albicans. No activity against P.aeruginosa.<ref>PMID:11034317</ref> | |||
