Ferritin consists of homogenous protein segment called as apoprotein and an iron segment which binds to the apoprotein. It is composed of heavy (H) and light (L) chains.
Ferritin is the storage form of iron in mammals, found mainly in liver, bone marrow and spleen. It is also present in small intestine, placenta, kidney and heart. Horse spleen ferritin is made up of 24 identical subunits. Ferritin of different organs is distinct with different electrophoretic mobility and possible functional differences. .
특이성

애플리케이션
Anti-Horse Spleen Ferritin antibody was used for immunocytochemistry of rat brain sections at a working antibody dilution of 1:2000 and in mouse brain sections at 1:1000. The antibody was used for immunoblotting using cell lysates of mouse primary erythroblasts and human ovarian carcinoma cells and human bronchial epithelial cells at a working dilution of 1:1000. The antibody is suitable for immunoelectrophoresis.

Iron accumulation in the brain has been associated with neurodegenerative disorders, including epilepsy. In our previous SAGE study, we showed that ferritin, an iron-storage protein, was one of the genes (Ferritin-H) that showed overexpression before the chronic epileptic phase. In

Terminal erythropoiesis is accompanied by extreme demand for iron to ensure proper hemoglobinization. Thus, erythroblasts must modify the "standard" post-transcriptional feedback regulation, balancing expression of ferritin (Fer; iron storage) versus transferrin receptor (TfR1; iron uptake) via specific mRNA binding of
