Association between serum ferritin and uric acid levels and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the Chinese population [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide. Accumulating evidence suggests that serum ferritin and uric acid (UA) are strongly associated with the risk of NAFLD, but no consensus has been reached ...

Mitochondrial Ferritin: Its Role in Physiological and Pathological Conditions
Cells, 2021 In 2001, a new type of human ferritin was identified by searching for homologous sequences to H-ferritin in the human genome. After the demonstration that this ferritin is located specifically in the mitochondrion, it was called mitochondrial ferritin ...

H-Ferritin Is Preferentially Incorporated by Human Erythroid Cells through Transferrin Receptor 1 in a Threshold-Dependent Manner. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ferritin is an iron-storage protein composed of different ratios of 24 light (L) and heavy (H) subunits. The serum level of ferritin is a clinical marker of the body's iron level.

the hyphal-associated adhesin and invasin Als3 of Candida albicans mediates iron acquisition from host ferritin. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2008 Iron sequestration by host iron-binding proteins is an important mechanism of resistance to microbial infections. Inside oral epithelial cells, iron is stored within ferritin, and is therefore not usually accessible to pathogenic microbes.

A ferritin from Dendrorhynchus zhejiangensis with heavy metals detoxification activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Ferritin, an iron homeostasis protein, has important functions in transition and storage of toxic metal ions. In this study, the full-length cDNA of ferritin was isolated from Dendrorhynchus zhejiangensis by cDNA library and RACE approaches.

Cytoprotective Effect of Ferritin H in Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Oxidative stress is a major contributor to kidney injury following ischemia reperfusion. Ferritin, a highly conserved iron-binding protein, is a key protein in the maintenance of cellular iron homeostasis and protection from oxidative stress.

Ferritin in cancer therapy: A pleiotropic tumoraffin nanocage‐based transport
Cancer Medicine, 2023 Background Ferritin, a ubiquitously distributed iron storage protein, can specifically target tumor cells through transferrin receptor 1. Due to its rearrangeable nanocage structure, ferritin can be loaded with anticancer drugs.
