Iron-Regulatory Hormone The iron regulating peptide hormone hepcidin is involved in iron homeostasis and several cardiac diseases. The animal specific hepcidin peptides are characterized by four disulfide bridges and the sequences differ only in some amino acid residues. Since pharmacological research is often performed in rat models, hepcidin (rat) with the rat specific peptide sequence is of great interest for experimental scientists. The offered Hepcidin (rat), article no. 4467-v is made by solid phase peptide synthesis and carefully isolated after connecting the four disulfide bridges.
