1 Iron-mediated retinal degeneration in haemojuvelin-knockout mice. Iron hemojuvelin BMP co-receptor Mus musculus
2 Haemochromatosis is a genetic disorder of iron overload resulting from loss-of-function mutations in genes coding for the iron-regulatory proteins HFE (human leucocyte antigen-like protein involved in iron homoeostasis), transferrin receptor 2, ferroportin, hepcidin and HJV (haemojuvelin). Iron hemojuvelin BMP co-receptor Mus musculus
3 Haemochromatosis is a genetic disorder of iron overload resulting from loss-of-function mutations in genes coding for the iron-regulatory proteins HFE (human leucocyte antigen-like protein involved in iron homoeostasis), transferrin receptor 2, ferroportin, hepcidin and HJV (haemojuvelin). Iron hemojuvelin BMP co-receptor Mus musculus
4 Hjv-/- mice at >=18 months of age had increased iron accumulation in the retina with marked morphological damage compared with age-matched controls; these changes were not found in younger mice. Iron hemojuvelin BMP co-receptor Mus musculus
5 Taken together, these results confirm the biological importance of HJV in the regulation of iron homoeostasis in the retina and in RPE. Iron hemojuvelin BMP co-receptor Mus musculus
