Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Ferritin heavy chain
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Cell proliferation-inducing gene 15 protein
  2. Ferritin H subunit
Gene Name FTH1
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. Has ferroxidase activity. 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 (By similarity).
