Anti-FTH1 / Ferritin heavy chain, clone FBA-6

Antibody in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol and 0.4-0.5mg/ml BSA. 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. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney. [UniProt] Protein function: Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis.
