Product Overview:
Ferritin is a spherical protein involved in iron storage and biomineralization.{55228,53730} It is primarily localized to the cytoplasm, but is also present in the mitochondria and nucleus, and is composed of 24 protein subunits with a tissue-specific ratio of ferritin heavy chains (FTH1s) to ferritin light chains (FTLs; Item No. 32032). FTH1 and FTL are nearly identical in overall conformation but only share approximately 50% sequence homology.{53731} FTH1 functions as a ferroxidase that catalyzes the oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III) and FTL has roles in iron nucleation and protein stability. FTH1 is overexpressed in acute myeloid leukemia and leukemic stem cells compared with normal hematopoietic stem cells.{53732} Elevated levels of cytoplasmic and nuclear FTH1 are associated with a favorable and poor prognosis, respectively, in patients with triple negative breast cancer.{53734} Point mutations in the 5’-UTR of FTH1 mRNA have been found in individuals with autosomal dominant iron overload.{53735} Disruption of Fth1 is embryonic lethal in mice.{53736} Cayman’s Ferritin Heavy Chain (human, recombinant) protein consists of 183 amino acids and has an apparent molecular mass of 21.2 kDa by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
