Description

General description

Research area: Cell signaling

Ferritin is a major iron storage protein. It exists in a two functionally and genetically different subunits namely, the acidic, heavy or H-chain and the basic, light or L-chain. Native ferritin from human liver. Sterile-filtered.

Application

Ferritin is suitable for use in immunofluorescence assay, immunoassays, as an immunogen, and in enzyme/radiolabeling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ferritin is a crucial protein that has multiple functions in iron metabolism and immune regulation. It helps in maintaining the iron balance. H-ferritin is involved in various processes such as regulating immune function, hematopoiesis, hepatocyte apoptosis, and cell differentiation. Additionally, ferritin can act as a proinflammatory cytokine through protein kinase C-zeta (PKC-ζ) and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) signaling pathways in certain cells.(1) Ferritin serves as both an immune-suppressor and a signaling molecule, contributing to the regulation of lymphoid and myeloid cell proliferation.
