General description

Ferritin light (FTL) subunit along with ferritin heavy (FTH) subunit are members of the ferritin complex. FTL gene is mapped on the human chromosome at 19q13.33.

Immunogen

Peptide with sequence C-GEYLFERLTLKHD from the C Terminus of the protein sequence according to NP_000137.2.

Application

Anti-FTL antibody produced in goat has been used in western blotting (1:500).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ferritin light (FTL) subunit is an important protein in iron metabolism but lacks catalytic activity. This protein participates in the nucleation and mineralization of the iron center. FTL acts as a biomarker to differentiate between malignant and benign tumors. Overexpression of the FTL gene is observed in several malignant tumors and plays an important role in mediating the malignancy of cancers. FTL gene plays a role in the pathogenesis of glioblastoma. Mutation or deletion of the FTL gene is associated with neuroferritinopathy.

Hepcidin is a 25-amino-acid peptide demonstrated to be the iron regulatory hormone capable of blocking iron absorption from the duodenum and iron release from macrophages. Mutations affecting hepcidin regulators or the hepcidin gene itself cause hemochromatosis, a common genetic disorder.
