Production of Recombinant Human Hybrid Ferritin with Heavy Chain and Light Chain in Escherichia coli and its Characterization.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Current pharmaceutical biotechnology [Curr Pharm Biotechnol] 2023; Vol. 24 (2), pp. 341-349.
Abstract: Background: Natural human ferritin generally contains 24 subunits with different ratios of heavy chain to light chain, and the ratio of both subunits varies depending on tissue distribution and pathological conditions. However, the production of recomb...
Ferritin / albumin ratio could be a new indicator of COVID-19 disease mortality.
Publication Type: Academic Journal

Abstract: Mammalian ferritins are predominantly heteropolymeric species consisting of 2 structurally similar, but functionally and genetically distinct subunit types, called H (Heavy) and L (Light). The two subunits co-assemble in different H and L ratios to for...
Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) ferritin should be a promising Fe 2+ nanocarrier.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Food chemistry [Food Chem] 2023 Mar 15; Vol. 404 (Pt B), pp. 134586. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Oct 12.
Abstract: Ferritin, one of the storage forms of iron, which widely exists in all living organisms and shows its potential as functional nanomaterial. In this study, Fe 2+ were added to oyster ferritin (GF1) in vitro until reached experimental saturation state. T...
FtMt reduces oxidative stress-induced trophoblast cell dysfunction via the HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): BMC pregnancy and childbirth [BMC Pregnancy Childbirth] 2023 Mar 01; Vol. 23 (1), pp. 131. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 01.
Abstract: Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a complication of pregnancy that causes long-term adverse outcomes for the mother and fetus and may even lead to death. Oxidative stress caused by the imbalance of oxidants and antioxidants in the placenta has been cons...
Association between iron metabolism and SARS-COV-2 infection, determined by ferritin, hephaestin and hypoxia-induced factor-1 alpha levels in COVID-19 patients.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Molecular biology reports [Mol Biol Rep] 2023 Mar; Vol. 50 (3), pp. 2471-2478. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jan 05.
Abstract: Background: Due to the growing evidence of the importance of iron status in immune responses, the biomarkers of iron metabolism are of interest in novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The present prospective study was carried out to compare iron ...
Advances in Ferritin Physiology and Possible Implications in Bacterial Infection.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International journal of molecular sciences [Int J Mol Sci] 2023 Feb 28; Vol. 24 (5). Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Feb 28.
Abstract: Due to its advantageous redox properties, iron plays an important role in the metabolism of nearly all life. However, these properties are not only a boon but also the bane of such life forms. Since labile iron results in the generation of reactive oxy...
Biomimetic-compartmented nanoprobe for in-situ imaging of iron storage and release from ferritin in cells.
