Nuclear translocation of ferritin in corneal epithelial cells
15 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies have shown that ferritin within developing avian corneal epithelial cells is predominantly a nuclear protein and that one function of the molecule in this location is to protect DNA from UV damage. To elucidate the mechanism for this tissue-specific nuclear translocation, cultured corneal epithelial cells and corneal fibroblasts were transfected with a series of deletion constructs for the...
