Description
Human FTH Recombinant Protein
Ferritin heavy polypeptide 1(FTH1); is a ubiquitous intracellular protein which stores iron in a soluble; non-toxic; readily available form. FTH1 has ferroxidase activity and is important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Ferritin is composed of 24 subunits of the light and heavy ferritin chains. It plays a role in delivery of iron to cells and mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney. Variation of ferritin subunit composition may affect iron absorption and release in different tissues. Deficiency of ferritin proteins may cause several neurodegenerative diseases. Almost all living organisms can produce this protein; including algae; bacteria; higher plants; and animals.
