UniProt Comments for FTL
Function: Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney
By similarity.
Subunit structure: Oligomer of 24 subunits. There are two types of subunits: L (light) chain and H (heavy) chain. The major chain can be light or heavy, depending on the species and tissue type. The functional molecule forms a roughly spherical shell with a diameter of 12 nm and contains a central cavity into which the insoluble mineral iron core is deposited.
Miscellaneous: In horse spleen the light chain is the major chain.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the ferritin family.Contains 1 ferritin-like diiron domain.

1. Transmission electron microscopy shows a clear selectivity of alkylated ferritin adsorption onto the PCL phase while wild ferritin predominantly adsorbs onto the PDTD phase.
