About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for FTL:

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. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: FRIL_HUMAN, P02792

Function: 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. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to

cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney (By similarity)

About This Section

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: FRIL_HUMAN, P02792 (See protein sequence)

Recommended Name: Ferritin light chain

Size: 175 amino acids; 20020 Da

Subunit: Oligomer of 24 subunits. There are two types of subunits: L (light) chain and H (heavy) chain. The major chain

can be light or heavy, depending on the species and tissue type. The functional molecule forms a roughly spherical

shell with a diameter of 12 nm and contains a central cavity into which the insoluble mineral iron core is deposited.

Iron enters the spherical protein shell through pores that are formed between subunits. Mutations leading to

truncation or the addition of extra residues at the C-terminus interfere with normal pore formation and with iron

accumulation

Defects in FTL are the cause of hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome (HHCS) [MIM:600886]. It is an

autosomal dominant disease characterized by early-onset bilateral cataract. Affected patients have elevated level of

circulating ferritin. HHCS is caused by mutations in the iron responsive element (IRE) of the FTL gene

Defects in FTL are the cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation type 3 (NBIA3) [MIM:606159];

also known as adult-onset basal ganglia disease. It is a movement disorder with heterogeneous presentations starting

in the fourth to sixth decade. It is characterized by a variety of neurological signs including parkinsonism, ataxia,

corticospinal signs, mild nonprogressive cognitive deficit and episodic psychosis. It is linked with decreased serum

ferritin levels
