Protein Domain : Ferritin, conserved site IPR014034

Type  Conserved_site
Description  Ferritin is one of the major non-heme iron storage proteins in animals, plants and microorganisms [ , ]. It consistsof a mineral core of hydrated ferric oxide, and a multi-subunit protein shell which encloses the former and assures its solubility in an aqueousenvironment. In animals, the protein is mainly cytoplasmic and there are generally two or more genes that encode closely related subunits (in mammals there are twosubunits which are known as H(eavy) and L(ight)). In plants ferritin is found in the chloroplast [].This entry represents the central region of this protein.
