Description générale

A shell of 24 protein subunits (apoferritin) and a core Fe 3+ ions with a peptide MW of 440 kDa. Review of the ferritin-like superfamily of iron-storage proteins, virtually ubiquitous in life on earth.

Application

Ferritin from equine spleen has been used:
  • in mycobacterial growth assay
  • in size-exclusion chromatography
  • in labeling of macrophage cells
  • as a reference standard in muon spin spectroscopy

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

A ubiquitous iron storage protein that plays a key role in iron metabolism. It serves as an intracellular iron reserve (particularly in spleen, liver, intestinal mucosa, and bone marrow) and functions in iron detoxification. Studies have shown that ferritin iron incorporation is mediated by a ferroxidase activity associated with ferritin H subunits and a nucleation center associated with ferritin L subunits. Release of iron from ferritin has an essential role in iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and may contribute to free radical-induced cell damage in vivo. Therefore, by binding iron, ferritin may function as an antioxidant.

Ferritin, the iron-storing protein, speeds up proton transverse magnetic relaxation in aqueous solutions. This T(2) shortening is used in MRI to quantify iron in the brain and liver. Current theoretical models underestimate the relaxation enhancement by ferritin at imaging fields

Iron and oxygen chemistry is mediated by iron proteins for many biological functions. Carboxylate-bridged diiron enzymes including ferritin have the common mechanism of oxygen activation via peroxodiferric intermediates. However, the route for iron uptake and the structural identification of intermediates

Ferritin is a globular protein that consists of 24 subunits forming a hollow nanocage structure that naturally stores iron oxyhydroxides. Elimination of iron atoms to obtain the empty protein called apoferritin is the first step to use this organic shell
