Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody is specific for amino acids 'DTHFPICIFCCGCCHRSKCGMCCKT' of human hepcidin- 25 and does not cross react with murine hepcidin-25. Hepcidin is a an iron-regulating peptide hormone made in the liver. Hepcidin is a cationic, cysteine-rich and tightly folded peptide stabilized by 4 disulfide bonds that plays a major role in innate immunity and iron homeostasis. It controls the delivery of iron to blood plasma from intestinal cells absorbing iron, from erythrocyte-recycling macrophages, and from iron- storing hepatocytes. Hepcidin acts by binding to and inactivating the sole cellular iron exporter, ferroprotein, which delivers iron to plasma from all iron-transporting cells. |
Alternative Name | HAMP; hHepc; HEPC; LEAP1; LEAP-1; Hepcidin; Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 1 |
UniProt | P81172 |
Immunogen | The original antibody was generated by immunizing Xenomouse™ IgG2κλ and IgG4κλ with KLH-conjugated human hepcidin peptide 'DTHFPICIFCCGCCHRSKCGMCCKT'. |
Application Notes | The original IgG antibody binds human hepcidin-25 with a binding affinity of Kd= 70 pM (PMID: 19553669). This antibody can be used in combination with another anti-hepcidin antibody 19D12 for detection of human hepcidin in human serum using a sandwich ELISA. 19D12 was used as a capture antibody and 23F11 was used for detection. The limit of sensitivity for the assay was 30 pg/mL (PMID: 23945155). |

Note on publication | Describes the development of a fully human antibody for use as a potential therapeutic to treat anemia of inflammation (AI) in patients with kidney disease or cancer. |
