FunFam 4726: Ferritin-like domain protein

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Bacterial non-heme ferritin. [EC: 1.16.3.2]
4 Fe(2+) + O(2) + 6 H(2)O = 4 (FeO(OH)) + 8 H(+).
  • Ferritins are intracellular iron-storage and detoxification proteins found in all kingdoms of life.
  • They are formed from two subunits that co-assemble in various ratios to form a spherical protein shell.
  • Thousands of mineralized iron atoms are stored within the core of the structure.
  • The product of dioxygen reduction by the bacterial non-heme ferritin is hydrogen peroxide, which is consumed in a subsequent reaction.
