Article Synopsis
- In 2001, researchers discovered a new type of human ferritin located in the mitochondria, termed mitochondrial ferritin, after identifying homologous sequences in the human genome.
- The study of mitochondrial ferritin has faced challenges due to its similarity with cytosolic H-ferritin, making it hard to develop specific antibodies and leading to incomplete understanding of its physiological role despite two decades of research.
- This review highlights the regulation of mitochondrial ferritin expression, its physical and biochemical properties in comparison to cytosolic ferritin, and notes potential associations with certain disorders, although no direct causative links have been established yet.
