Ferritins (Ferritin) Summary

Description: Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types.

Also Known As: Ferritin; Basic Isoferritin; Isoferritin; Isoferritin, Basic
