Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP01773
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Ferritin light chain
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Ferritin L subunit
Gene Name FTL
Protein Type Metal Binding
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific Function Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney
