The ferritin family is a widespread group of proteins that maintain iron in a soluble form and
also protect against the toxic effects of excess iron. The structure and sequence of the
proteins are highly conserved. However, the cell-specific features of structure which occur
within the same organism indicate cell specificity of gene expression and may be related to
variations in types of iron storage, ie specialized-cell ferritin (stored iron is for other cell
types) versus housekeeping ferritin (stored iron is for intracellular purposes related to normal …
