FTH1, ferritin heavy chain: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body and is made up of two subunits, ferritin light chain (FTL) and ferritin heavy chain (FTH1).
Ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) is one of the two subunits that make up the protein ferritin, which is responsible for storing iron in the body. FTH1 is encoded by the FTH1 gene, which is located on chromosome 11 in humans.

FTH1 expression is often upregulated in various cancers and is generally associated with a poorer prognosis.
