The Distribution of Ferritins in Marine Copepods
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Iron is an essential element for the functioning of cellular processes. Ferritins, the major intracellular iron storage proteins, convert the free Fe2+ into the nontoxic Fe3+ which can be stored and transported where needed.

Ferritins: furnishing proteins with iron [PDF]
JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2016 Ferritins are a superfamily of iron oxidation, storage and mineralization proteins found throughout the animal, plant, and microbial kingdoms. The majority of ferritins consist of 24 subunits that individually fold into 4-α-helix bundles and assemble in ...
