UniProtKB description: Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation (By similarity). Ferritin is composed of a heavy (H) chain which is responsible for the oxidation and uptake of ferrous iron, and a light (L) chain which facilitates the nucleation of the ferrihydrite iron core (Probable).
