Ferritin and ferritin isoforms I: Structure–function relationships, synthesis, degradation and secretion
TL;DR: Most of the ferritin produced intracellularly is harnessed for the regulation of iron bioavailability; however, some of theFerritin is secreted and internalized by other cells, and may contribute to the control of myelopoiesis and immunological responses.
