Ferroportin is a transmembrane protein that transports iron from the inside of a cell to the outside of it. It is found on the surface of cells that store or transport iron, including:
- Enterocytes in the duodenum
- Hepatocytes
- Macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system.
Recent research suggests that ferroportin is inhibited by hepcidin, which therefore is the "master regulator" of human iron metabolism. Hepcidin binds to ferroportin, and results in the internalisation of ferroportin within the cell. This results in retention of iron within the cell, and a reduction in iron levels within the plasma. This is part of the mechanism that causes anaemia of chronic disease; hepcidin is released from the liver in response to inflammatory cytokines, namely interleukin-6, which results in an increased hepcidin concentration and a consequent decrease in plasma iron levels.

[edit] Clinical significance
Ferroportin can be associated with African iron overload.
