Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Mitochondrial ferritin is a functional ferritin that localizes in the mitochondria. It is expressed in the testis, heart, brain, and cells with active respiratory activity. Its overexpression in cultured cells protected against oxidative damage and reduced cytosolic iron availability. However, no overt phenotype was described in mice with inactivation of the FtMt gene. Here, we used the doxorubicin...
