Tissue specificity:Highly expressed in the liver and to a much lesser extent in the heart. Secreted in blood (PubMed:15124018). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11113132, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12729891, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15124018}.
Induction:Regulated in response to changes in circulating iron concentrations, iron stores or the development of inflammation and iron-restricted erythropoiesis. Down-regulated following anemia induced by hemorrhage or hemolysis: down-regulation is mediated by ERFE (PubMed:12370282, PubMed:24880340, PubMed:15124018). The induction of upon inflammation is mediated by IL6 (PubMed:15124018). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12370282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15124018, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24880340}.
