Hepcidin, encoded by the HAMP gene, serves as the master regulator of systemic iron homeostasis, making it a critical target for cardiovascular and metabolic disease research. This small peptide hormone, produced primarily in hepatocytes, controls iron absorption and recycling by triggering the degradation of ferroportin, the sole known cellular iron exporter. Dysregulation of hepcidin signaling underlies conditions ranging from hereditary hemochromatosis to anemia of chronic disease, positioning HAMP as both a biomarker and therapeutic target of considerable interest.
This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody, clone 4C5, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined genetic sequences rather than traditional hybridoma methods, you can expect uniform performance across lots, eliminating the variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The antibody has been affinity-purified for enhanced specificity and arrives in a glycerol-containing buffer optimized for long-term storage stability.
Validation studies confirm reliable detection of human HAMP across multiple experimental platforms. In western blot applications, the antibody successfully identifies HAMP in Jurkat, HeLa, HepG2, and 293 whole cell lysates at dilutions between 1:500 and 1:5000. The observed band size of approximately 25 kDa exceeds the predicted 10 kDa molecular weight, a discrepancy likely attributable to post-translational modifications or the detection of pro-hepcidin forms. Immunohistochemistry validation demonstrates clear staining in paraffin-embedded human liver tissue, the primary site of hepcidin expression, at dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200.
Researchers investigating iron metabolism, inflammatory responses affecting iron handling, or cardiovascular conditions linked to iron dysregulation will find this antibody a dependable tool for their experimental workflows.
