FER3 ferritin 3 [Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: FER3
Official Full Name: ferritin 3
Primary source: TAIR:AT3G56090
Locus tag: AT3G56090
See related: Araport:AT3G56090
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype: Columbia)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
Also known as: ATFER3; ferritin 3
Summary: Encodes FERRITIN 3, AtFER3. Ferritins are a class of 24-mer multi-meric proteins found in all kingdoms of life. Function as the main iron store in mammals. Evidence suggests that Arabidopsis ferritins are essential to protect cells against oxidative damage, but they do not constitute the major iron pool.
