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