Function
[FRIL_HORSE] 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).
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Apo-ferritin (apo-Fr) mutants are used as scaffolds to accommodate palladium (allyl) complexes. Various coordination arrangements of the Pd complexes are achieved by adjusting the positions of cysteine and histidine residues on the interior surface of the apo-Fr cage.
Definite coordination arrangement of organometallic palladium complexes accumulated on the designed interior surface of apo-ferritin.,Wang Z, Takezawa Y, Aoyagi H, Abe S, Hikage T, Watanabe Y, Kitagawa S, Ueno T Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Jan 7;47(1):170-2. Epub 2010 Aug 23. PMID:20730233[1]
