Ferroportin (SLC40A1), encoded by the *SLC40A1* gene, is the sole known iron exporter in humans, playing a critical role in systemic iron homeostasis. Expressed primarily in cell types responsible for iron release—such as enterocytes (absorbing dietary iron), macrophages (recycling iron from senescent red blood cells), and hepatocytes (storing iron)—ferroportin facilitates the transport of intracellular iron into plasma, where it binds to transferrin for distribution to tissues. Its activity is tightly regulated by the hormone hepcidin, which binds to ferroportin, triggering its internalization and degradation, thereby reducing iron efflux. This interaction represents a key regulatory mechanism for maintaining iron balance.
Mutations in *SLC40A1* cause ferroportin disease, a type of hereditary hemochromatosis. Pathogenic variants are classified into two subtypes: loss-of-function mutations (type A) impair iron export, leading to iron overload in macrophages, while gain-of-function mutations (type B) confer resistance to hepcidin, causing excessive iron absorption and parenchymal iron deposition. Recombinant human ferroportin proteins are widely studied to dissect these mechanisms, resolve structural features (e.g., 12 transmembrane domains, iron-binding sites), and screen therapeutic compounds. Targeting ferroportin-hepcidin signaling holds promise for treating iron-related disorders, such as anemia of chronic disease (via hepcidin inhibitors) or iron overload syndromes (via hepcidin agonists). Additionally, recombinant ferroportin aids in drug development and understanding iron dysregulation in cancer and neurodegeneration.
