Description
Ferritins are intracellular iron-storage and detoxification proteins found in all kingdoms of life. They are formed from two subunits that co-assemble in various ratios to form a spherical protein shell. Thousands of mineralized iron atoms are stored within the core of the structure. The product of dioxygen reduction by the bacterial non-heme ferritin is hydrogen peroxide, which is consumed in a subsequent reaction.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Reaction
4 Fe(II) + O2 + 6 H2O = 4 [FeO(OH)] + 8 H+ (overall reaction); (1a) 2 Fe(II) + O2 + 4 H2O = 2 [FeO(OH)] + 4 H+ + H2O2; (1b) 2 Fe(II) + H2O2 + 2 H2O = 2 [FeO(OH)] + 4 H+
