Biological function summary
Hemojuvelin interacts with other proteins to modulate iron metabolism. It acts as a coreceptor for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) enhancing BMP signaling which is critical in regulating the peptide hormone hepcidin. Hemojuvelin itself is not part of a larger complex but it works closely with BMPs to control hepcidin expression. Hepcidin is the key hormone that dictates iron absorption and its release from macrophages maintaining iron balance.
Pathways
Hemojuvelin functions primarily within the BMP signaling and hepcidin regulatory pathways. The interaction with BMP6 is particularly critical. The BMP6-hemojuvelin complex boosts the SMAD signaling cascade resulting in increased hepcidin expression. This cascade impacts iron levels in the body by limiting intestinal iron absorption and controlling iron recycling by macrophages.
