General description

Ferritin is a widely expressed, very large, multi-subunit, intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms in some form. In humans, it acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload. Ferritin protein is a multi-subunit (24 oligomers) protein complex consisting of both large (heavy) and small (light) chains. It is primarily and intracellular protein.The subunits of Ferritin in vertebrates have an apparent molecular weight of 19 kDa or 21 kDa respectively; their sequences are about 50% homologous. When Ferritin is unbound by iron the protein is called Apoferritin. Mutations associated with the Ferritin Heavy Chain protein contribute to a syndrome called Hemochromatosis 5 which is a disorder of iron metabolism where too much iron is retained within the tissues resulting in a variety of syndromes which unfortunately manifest themselves late in life.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to human Ferritin Heavy Chain.

Application

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Ferritin Heavy Chain in human bone marrow and human tonsil tissue.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected Ferritin Heavy Chain in erythroid blasts of acute myeloid leukaemia M6 tissue, macrophages in the lymph node tissue, and tumor & lung-associated macrophages (Wang, W., et al. (2013). Histopahtology. 62:931–940).

Macrophages play a critical role in iron homeostasis by recycling iron from red cells and storing it in ferritin, an iron storage protein. The recycled iron is delivered to erythroid precursors for erythropoiesis. In this study, we aimed to determine
