The type II transmembrane serine protease TMPRSS6 (also known as matriptase-2) controls iron homeostasis through its negative regulation of expression of hepcidin, a key hormone involved in iron metabolism. Upstream of the hepcidin-regulated signaling pathway, TMPRSS6 cleaves its target substrate hemojuvelin (HJV) at the plasma membrane.It Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.Defects in TMPRSS6 are the cause of iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA).It has 4 isoforms produced by alternative splicing.
