  • Title: Structural homology between mouse liver and horse spleen ferritins.
    Author: Rice DW, Dean B, Smith JM, White JL, Ford GC, Harrison PM.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1985 Feb 11; 181(1):165-8. PubMed ID: 3972104.
    Abstract:
    Mouse liver ferritin is composed almost exclusively of polypeptide chains similar in molecular mass (22 kDa) to that characteristic of the major chain (H) found in heart ferritin isolated from human, horse or rat. In these species the predominant polypeptide of liver (L) is smaller (about 20 kDa). Here we show that mouse liver and horse spleen ferritins and apoferritins exhibit extensive structural homology as judged by the similarity in the diffraction patterns of their crystals grown from cadmium sulphate solutions. Implications of this finding are discussed.
