The organ specificity of ferritin in human and horse liver and spleen

Ferritin and hemocyanin: 210Po molecular traps in marine fish, oyster and lobster

“…The method of ferritin purification essentially followed those of Crichton et al (1973), Cetinkaya et al (1985) and Geetha & Deshpande (1999) but with several modifications. The major modification was the use of a lower temperature for the thermal denaturation (65°C instead of 75°C).…”

Aqueous Near‐Infrared Fluorescent Composites Based on Apoferritin‐Encapsulated PbS Quantum Dots

“…[179][180][181][205][206][207][208] In our study, the protein cages used are the horse spleen apoferritin and the human liver apoferritin whose DNA sequences are reported in Table 1.4. Horse [209,210] Furthermore, each subunit of apoferritin is folded in a bundle of two pairs of α-helixes Ferritin is a thermally stable protein up to 82 • C. Granick observed some changes in ferritin when a dialyzed protein solution was slowly heated.…”

Iron and haemochromatosis

“…The search for abnormalities in the structure and function of ferritin from patients with idiopathic haemochromatosis has not been extensive but no obvious differences between liver ferritin from patients with haemochromatosis and normal liver ferritins have been found (Crichton et al, 1973;Wagstaff et al, 1982). No evidence supporting any failure in ferritin synthesis has been found in studies of biopsies of intestinal mucosa (see 2, above), monocytes (see 4, above) or in liver biopsies (Beaumont et at., 1980).…”
