Used in research to detect and quantify hepcidin, a key hormone regulating iron metabolism. This antibody enables studies on iron-related disorders such as anemia, hemochromatosis, and chronic kidney disease. It is applied in immunoassays like ELISA and Western blot to measure hepcidin levels in biological samples. Also supports drug development targeting hepcidin pathways for treating iron imbalance. Validated for use in human and primate samples, it aids in understanding inflammatory conditions where hepcidin is upregulated.
