products full name :
GOAT ANTI HUMAN FERRITIN
products short name :
FERRITIN
other names :
ferritin light chain; Ferritin light chain; ferritin light chain; ferritin L subunit; ferritin L-chain; ferritin light polypeptide-like 3; ferritin, light polypeptide
other gene names :
FTL; FTL; LFTD; NBIA3; Ferritin L subunit
uniprot entry name :
FRIL_HUMAN
specificity :
This item recognises human ferritin, a large globular protein found in the liver, intestines and spleen that functions as an iron storage complex. It consists of a mineral core of ferric oxide and a 24 subunit protein shell that assures solubility in an aqueous environment. This antibody recognises liver and spleen ferritin, but shows minimal reactivity with heart ferritin.
form :
Purified. Purified IgG - liquid
concentration :
Approximate Protein Concentration: 5.0 mg/ml
storage stability :
Store at 4 degree C or at -20 degree C if preferred. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use. Shelf Life: 18 months from date of despatch.
tested application :
ELISA (EIA)
other info1 :
Perservative Stabilisers: 0.09% Sodium Azide (NaN3) . Preparation: Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
other info2 :
Immunogen: Human Liver Ferritin. Buffer Solution: Phosphate buffered saline. Target Species: Human

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes the light subunit of the ferritin protein. Ferritin is the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains. Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues. A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state. Defects in this light chain ferritin gene are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases and hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome. This gene has multiple pseudogenes.

uniprot summary :
FTL: 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. Defects in FTL are the cause of hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome (HHCS). It is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by early-onset bilateral cataract. Affected patients have elevated level of circulating ferritin. HHCS is caused by mutations in the iron responsive element (IRE) of the FTL gene. Defects in FTL are the cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation type 3 (NBIA3); also known as adult-onset basal ganglia disease. It is a movement disorder with heterogeneous presentations starting in the fourth to sixth decade. It is characterized by a variety of neurological signs including parkinsonism, ataxia, corticospinal signs, mild nonprogressive cognitive deficit and episodic psychosis. It is linked with decreased serum ferritin levels. Belongs to the ferritin family. Protein type: Oxidoreductase. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.33.
