Using a zebrafish model of hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (HEP), we identify a previously unknown mechanism underlying heme-mediated regulation of exocrine zymogens.Zebrafish bachlb, nrf2a and mafK are all expressed in the zebrafish exocrine pancreas.Overexpression of bachlb or knockdown of nrf2a result in the downregulation of the expression of the exocrine zymogens, whereas overexpression of nrf2a or knockdown of bachlb cause their upregulation.
