Retinal expression of the serine protease matriptase-2 (Tmprss6) and its role in retinal iron homeostasis

PURPOSE: Matriptase-2 (also known as TMPRSS6) is a critical regulator of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin in the liver; matriptase-2 cleaves membrane-bound hemojuvelin and consequently alters bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. Hemojuvelin and hepcidin are expressed in the retina and pla...
