Identification
BMDB Protein ID BMDBP01949
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Ferritin light chain
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name FTL
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Inorganic ion transport and metabolism
Specific Function Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. 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 (By similarity).
