<unk>  is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAMP gene.<unk>  is a key regulator of the entry of iron into the circulation in mammals. During conditions in which the<unk>  level is abnormally high, such as inflammation, serum iron falls due to iron trapping within macrophages and liver cells and decreased gut iron absorption. This typically leads to anemia due to an inadequate amount of serum iron being available for developing red blood cells. When the<unk>  level is abnormally low such as in hemochromatosis, iron overload occurs due to increased ferroportin mediated iron efflux from storage and increased gut iron absorption.
