Description:

Ferritin is a globular protein complex consisting of 24 subunits that is present in every cell type and is the primary intracellular iron-storage protein. Ferritin is responsible for keeping iron in a soluble and non-toxic form. In vertebrates, these subunits are both the light (L) and the heavy (H) type with an apparent molecular weight of 19 kDa or 21 kDa respectively. Human Ferritin is a globular protein found mainly in the liver, which can store about 4500 iron ions in a hollow shell made of 24 identical subunits. Inside the human ferritin shell, iron ions form crystallites together with phosphate and hydroxide ions.
