Human Ferritin (L chain) (Active)

This Human Ferritin Light Chain (L chain) protein is supplied by Antibodies.com as an active, functionally competent preparation in liquid format at 1 mg per vial. Ferritin is a 24-subunit nanocage that sequesters ferric iron, and the L subunit (~19 kDa) drives iron-core nucleation and long-term storage, predominating in liver and spleen tissue as well as circulating serum.

The recombinant L-chain apoferritin supports iron-loading studies, ferroxidase activity assays, ELISA calibration standards, immunohistochemistry controls, and structural research on cage assembly. Storage at -20 degrees C is recommended, with aliquoting to limit freeze-thaw cycles; handle under standard laboratory conditions.
