Ferritin and iron storage. Ferritin is composed of 24 subunits, heavy (H) and light (L), with varied ratios of H to L in different cell types and physiologic conditions. Ferritin H has ferroxidase activity to convert Fe2+ to Fe3+ inside ferritin shell. Iron is imported and exported through the channels constructed by ferritin H or L subunits.
