Products Description
Ferritin is an iron storage protein that plays an important role in iron metabolism and may be elevated in inflammatory or malignant diseases. It has been studied as an indicator of iron supply in the body, but may not be accurate in the presence of chronic inflammation.
The main functions
Storing iron: storing excess iron in cells to prevent it from reacting with oxygen and avoiding oxidative stress.
Releasing iron: releasing iron through enzymatic reactions when needed, participating in hematopoiesis and other metabolic activities.
Regulating iron balance: maintaining the homeostasis of iron metabolism in the body through feedback regulation.
