© 2016, The Author(s). Hepcidin is a peptide hormone that regulates the homeostasis of iron metabolism. The N-terminal domain of hepcidin is conserved amongst a range of species and is capable of binding CuIIand NiIIthrough the amino terminal copper–nickel binding motif (ATCUN). It has been suggeste...
