The ferritin heavy chain/FTH1 protein is critical for maintaining iron homeostasis, storing iron in soluble form through ferroxidase activity. It promotes the oxidation of ferrous iron so that it can be deposited in the form of iron hydroxide. Ferritin heavy chain/FTH1 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived Ferritin heavy chain/FTH1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Description

The ferritin heavy chain/FTH1 protein is critical for maintaining iron homeostasis, storing iron in soluble form through ferroxidase activity. It promotes the oxidation of ferrous iron so that it can be deposited in the form of iron hydroxide. Ferritin heavy chain/FTH1 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived Ferritin heavy chain/FTH1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Background

Ferritin heavy chain/FTH1 protein serves a crucial role in iron homeostasis by storing iron in a soluble and non-toxic form. With ferroxidase activity, it facilitates the oxidation of ferrous iron, allowing its deposition as ferric hydroxides. Beyond iron storage, this protein also contributes to the delivery of iron to cells, emphasizing its multifaceted function. Moreover, FTH1 is implicated in mediating iron uptake in capsule cells during kidney development, further highlighting its significance in various physiological processes.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
