Oxidative stress and cell death in cells expressing L-ferritin variants causing neuroferritinopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Neuroferritinopathies are dominantly inherited movement disorders associated with nucleotide insertions in the L-ferritin gene that modify the protein's C-terminus. The insertions alter physical and functional properties of the ferritins, causing an imbalance in brain iron homeostasis. We describe the effects produced by the over-expression in HeLa and neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells of two pathogenic L-ferritin...
