Target Information
Bovine ferritin, light polypeptide (FTL) is a subunit of the iron-storage protein complex that plays a vital role in sequestering iron in a nontoxic form within Bovine cells. This protein is crucial for maintaining iron homeostasis and is part of the ferritin nanocage structure, which is essential for the oxidative precipitation and reductive release of iron. The FTL subunit, along with the ferritin heavy chain (FTH), forms the 24-subunit complex that allows for safe iron storage, protecting cells from the potential damage caused by free iron ions. It is also noted for its potential use in the food industry and as a nanocarrier for drug delivery due to its unique structural characteristics.
