Iron uptake, transport, and storage involve multiple proteins, including ferroportin (fpn). This study identified two functional fpns in common carp with distinct expression patterns.
Iron uptake, transport, and storage require the involvement of several proteins, including ferroportin (fpn), the sole known iron efflux transporter. Due to its critical function fpn has been studied, particularly in humans. Here, we characterized the ferroportin gene in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and performed RNA-seq analysis to evaluate its constitutive transcription levels across different tissues. Our results indicate that C. carpio possesses two functional fpns with distinct expression patterns, highlighting the potential for functional divergence and expression differentiation among fpns in this species.
