Ferritin iron storage protein molecule. Ferritin is the protein that stores iron in higher organisms. It is hollow and roughly spherical, with channels that pass through the wall, somewhat analogous to a molecular wiffle ball. The inside cavity of the protein is large enough to store more than 4, 000 iron atoms as an iron(III) oxide. | |
