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 ...

Mass spectrometry reveals the assembly pathway of encapsulated ferritins and highlights a dynamic ferroxidase interface. [PDF]

Chemical Communications, 2019
Encapsulated ferritins (EncFtn) are a recently characterised member of the ferritin superfamily. EncFtn proteins are sequestered within encapsulin nanocompartments and form a unique biological iron storage system.

Dissecting the structural and functional roles of a putative metal entry site in encapsulated ferritins [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020
Encapsulated ferritins belong to the universally distributed ferritin superfamily, whose members function as iron detoxification and storage systems. Encapsulated ferritins have a distinct annular structure and must associate with an encapsulin nanocage ...

Investigating the Relationship Between Serum C-Reactive Protein, Ferritin levels, and Gestational Diabetes in Pregnant Women Living in Qazvin City

The Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: This study aimed to compare the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and ferritin in the first trimester of pregnancy between normal and abnormal pregnant women (complicated with gestational diabetes) to determine if these chemicals have ...

Magnetic resonance imaging of tumors colonized with bacterial ferritin-expressing Escherichia coli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that human ferritin can be used as a reporter of gene expression for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Bacteria also encode three classes of ferritin-type molecules with iron accumulation properties.

A Bioinformatics-Assisted Review on Iron Metabolism and Immune System to Identify Potential Biomarkers of Exercise Stress-Induced Immunosuppression

Biomedicines, 2022
The immune function is closely related to iron (Fe) homeostasis and allostasis. The aim of this bioinformatics-assisted review was twofold; (i) to update the current knowledge of Fe metabolism and its relationship to the immune system, and (ii) to ...

Ferritin for the clinician [PDF]

Blood Reviews, 2009
Ferritin, a major iron storage protein, is essential to iron homeostasis and is involved in a wide range of physiologic and pathologic processes. In clinical medicine, ferritin is predominantly utilized as a serum marker of total body iron stores. In cases of iron deficiency and overload, serum ferritin serves a critical role in both diagnosis and ...
