1 Development and iron-dependent expression of hephaestin in different brain regions of rats. Iron hephaestin Rattus norvegicus
2 It has been suggested that Hephaestin (Heph), a newly discovered ceruloplasmin homologue, is necessary for iron egress from the enterocytes into circulation via interacting with ferroportin1 (FP1). Iron hephaestin Rattus norvegicus
3 It has been suggested that Hephaestin (Heph), a newly discovered ceruloplasmin homologue, is necessary for iron egress from the enterocytes into circulation via interacting with ferroportin1 (FP1). Iron hephaestin Rattus norvegicus
4 Based on the putative function of Heph, and the similarity between the process of iron transport in the enterocytes and that in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) cells, it has also been proposed that Heph plays a similar role in exporting iron from the BBB cells and other brain cells as it works in the enterocytes via interacting with FP1. Iron hephaestin Rattus norvegicus
5 Based on the putative function of Heph, and the similarity between the process of iron transport in the enterocytes and that in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) cells, it has also been proposed that Heph plays a similar role in exporting iron from the BBB cells and other brain cells as it works in the enterocytes via interacting with FP1. Iron hephaestin Rattus norvegicus
6 The findings also showed that both the development and iron status have a significant effect on Heph expression and the effects of iron status are regionally specific. Iron hephaestin Rattus norvegicus
7 It was also suggested that Heph expression is probably regulated at the transcriptional level by the development and iron in these brain regions. Iron hephaestin Rattus norvegicus
8 These findings, together with other published data, support a putative role of Heph in the iron metabolism in the brain. Iron hephaestin Rattus norvegicus
