products description :
Principle of the Assay: HJV ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for HJV. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and HJV if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of HJV present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) -conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for HJV are added to each well to "sandwich" the HJV immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, and then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, substrate solutions are added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain HJV and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The HJV concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The product of this gene is involved in iron metabolism. It may be a component of the signaling pathway which activates hepcidin or it may act as a modulator of hepcidin expression. It could also represent the cellular receptor for hepcidin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. Defects in this gene are the cause of hemochromatosis type 2A, also called juvenile hemochromatosis (JH). JH is an early-onset autosomal recessive disorder due to severe iron overload resulting in hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis and cardiomyopathy, occurring typically before age of 30.

uniprot summary :
HFE2: Member of the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family. Involved in iron metabolism. Acts as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) coreceptor. Enhancement of BMP signaling regulates hepcidin (HAMP) expression and iron metabolism. May cooperate with hepcidin to restrict iron absorption in the gut. Could represent the cellular receptor for hepcidin. Defects in HFE2 are the cause of hemochromatosis type 2A (HFE2A); also known as juvenile hemochromatosis (JH). HFE2A is an early-onset autosomal recessive disorder due to severe iron overload resulting in hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis and cardiomyopathy, occurring typically before age of 30. It is the consequence of intestinal iron hyperabsorption associated with macrophages that do not load iron. Deleterious mutations of HFE2 reduced HAMP (hepcidin) levels despite iron overload, which normally induces HAMP expression. Belongs to the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Membrane protein, GPI anchor. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q21.1. Cellular Component: extracellular space; cell surface; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: protein binding; coreceptor activity. Biological Process: BMP signaling pathway; axon guidance; iron ion homeostasis; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter. Disease: Hemochromatosis, Type 2a
