[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FRIH_HUMAN FRIH_HUMAN] Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Has ferroxidase activity. 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). | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FRIH_HUMAN FRIH_HUMAN] Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form.
