Ferritins

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: 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.     
Examples Apoferritins 		Other names Isoferritin, Basic; Isoferritin; Ferritin; Basic Isoferritin
