Ferritin (H+L Chain) Recombinant Protein

Recombinant full length human ferritin (H+L) protein with molecular weight 41.5 kDa.
Ferritin is a ubiquitous intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. It is a protein of 450 kDa consisting of 24 subunits that is present in every cell type. In vertebrates, these subunits are both the light (L) and the heavy (H) type with an apparent molecular weight of 19 kDA or 21 kDA respectively; their sequences are about 50% homologous. Ferritin plays a key role in cellular iron metabolism, which includes iron storage and detoxification. It also plays a role in the haemolymph of the polyplacophora where it serves to rapidly transport iron to the mineralizing radula.

Small volumes of Ferritin (H+L chain) recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
