Human ferritin H-chains can be obtained in non-assembled stable forms which have ferroxidase activity.

FEBS letters - 27 Dec 1993

Levi S, Santambrogio P, Albertini A, Arosio P

Abstract excerpt

We found conditions to obtain the Leu-169-->Arg mutant of human ferritin H chain in a stable and non-assembled state. The protein obtained is an oligomer of subunits with a high degree of structured conformation, and when concentrated it re-assembles into ferritin cages. Functional studies showed that (i) it promotes iron oxidation like the assembled ferritin, but at slower rate, (ii) it is readily precipitated...
