Structural highlights
FunctionFRIL1_MOUSE 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. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedCubic F432 crystals of recombinant mouse L-chain apoferritin were obtained by the hanging-drop technique with ammonium sulfate and cadmium sulfate as precipitants. The structure was refined to 2.1 and 1.6 A resolution from data obtained at room temperature and under cryogenic conditions, respectively. The structure of an eight-amino-acid loop insertion in the mouse sequence is found to be highly disordered both at room temperature and at low temperature. Structure of mouse L-chain ferritin at 1.6 A resolution.,Granier T, Gallois B, Langlois d'Estaintot B, Dautant A, Chevalier JM, Mellado JM, Beaumont C, Santambrogio P, Arosio P, Precigoux G Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2001 Nov;57(Pt 11):1491-7.
