Descriptor ferritinas
Scope note: Proteínas que contienen hierro ampliamente distribuidas en animales, plantas y microorganismos. Su principal función es almacenar HIERRO en forma biodisponible atóxica. Cada molécula de ferritina consta de hierro férrico en una cáscara de proteína hueca (APOFERRITINAS) compuesta de 24 subunidades de diversas secuencias dependiendo de los tipos de especies y de tejidos.

Scope note: Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types.
