Human FTH, recombinant

Recombinant Human Ferritin Heavy Chain is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Ser183 is expressed. Protein function: 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
