- Abstract
- The antenatal role of the hepcidin-regulating protease Tmprss6 has never been elucidated because knockout dams are infertile. Using an in vivo knockdown approach, we confirm Tmprsss6 is critical for hepcidin suppression in pregnancy, and Tmprss6 inhibition drives deleterious fetal outcomes.
