Gene information for FTL (Homo sapiens) (Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)

Entrez gene ID 2512 Official gene symbol FTL Full name ferritin, light polypeptide Aliases ,MGC71996,NBIA3, Gene summary This gene encodes the light subunit of the ferritin protein. Ferritin is the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains. Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues. A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state. Defects in this light chain ferritin gene are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases and hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome. This gene has multiple pseudogenes.
