Figure 3 Scheme of the role of ceruloplasmin and hepcidin in the degradation of ferroportin.
A: In the presence of Cp, Fpn is stable and exports iron; B: In the absence of Cp, Fpn is degraded; C: In the presence of inactive Cp, Fpn is degraded; D: In the presence of Cp and hepcidin, Fpn is degraded. Cp: Ceruloplasmin; Fpn: Ferroportin.
