TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes FERRITIN 4, AtFER4. Ferritins are a class of 24-mer multi-meric proteins found in all kingdoms of life. Function as the main iron store in mammals. Evidence suggests that Arabidopsis ferritins are essential to protect cells against oxidative damage, but they do not constitute the major iron pool. Localize to mitochondria. Knock out mutants are not sensitive to abiotic stress. |
