Descriptor apoferritinas
Scope note: Los componentes proteicos de las ferritinas. Las apoferritinas son estructuras a modo de caparazón que contienen nanocavidades y actividades ferroxidásicas. Los caparazones de apoferritina están compuestos de 24 subunidades, heteropolímeros en vertebrados y homopolímeros en bacterias. En los vertebrados, hay dos tipos de subunidades, la cadena ligera y la cadena pesada. La cadena pesada contiene la actividad ferroxidásica.

Scope note: The protein components of ferritins. Apoferritins are shell-like structures containing nanocavities and ferroxidase activities. Apoferritin shells are composed of 24 subunits, heteropolymers in vertebrates and homopolymers in bacteria. In vertebrates, there are two types of subunits, light chain and heavy chain. The heavy chain contains the ferroxidase activity.
