Crystal structure of Bullfrog M ferritin
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 22424302
Function
[FRI2_LITCT] 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.
