Summary
ERFE (erythroferrone, HGNC:26727) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q37.3, encoding Erythroferrone (Q4G0M1). Iron-regulatory hormone that acts as an erythroid regulator after hemorrhage: produced by erythroblasts following blood loss and mediates suppression of hepcidin (HAMP) expression in the liver, thereby promoting increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores.
Enables molecular sequestering activity. Involved in negative regulation of BMP signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space.

Function. Iron-regulatory hormone that acts as an erythroid regulator after hemorrhage: produced by erythroblasts following blood loss and mediates suppression of hepcidin (HAMP) expression in the liver, thereby promoting increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores. Promotes lipid uptake into adipocytes and hepatocytes via transcriptional up-regulation of genes involved in fatty acid uptake. Inhibits apoptosis and inflammatory response in cardiomyocytes via promotion of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and cAMP-dependent activation of AKT signaling. Inhibits autophagy induced by nutrient deficiency in hepatocytes via promoting the phosphorylation of IRS1, AKT, and MTOR, and thereby subsequent activation of the AKT-MTOR signaling pathway. Negatively regulates the differentiation of osteoblasts, potentially via sequestering BMP2, and thereby inhibits the activation of SMAD signaling. The reduction in BMP2 signaling in osteoblasts also results in an increase in expression of the osteoclastogenesis-promoting factors TNFSF11/RANKL and SOST, thereby indirectly promotes bone resorption.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Forms trimer, hexamers and higher molecular weight oligomers. May form heteromeric complexes with C1QTNF2 and C1QTNF12 and, to a lesser extent, with C1QTNF5 and C1QTNF10. Interacts with BMP5 and BMP7; the interaction inhibits BMP-induced transcription of HAMP. Interacts with BMP6; the interaction inhibits BMP-induced transcription of HAMP. Interacts with BMP2. Interacts with heterodimers composed of BMP2 and BMP6 in vitro, the interaction inhibits the heterodimer binding to its receptor BMPR1A /ALK3 and thereby suppresses expression of HAMP.
Subcellular location. Secreted.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated; required for secretion of the mature protein.
Similarity. Belongs to the adipolin/erythroferrone family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 45 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
