IPR008331 is a Ferritin/DPS protein domain.
<p>This entry represents the main structural domain of ferritin. The domain is also found in other ferritin-like proteins such as members of the DNA protection during starvation (DPS) family [[cite:PUB00016788]] and bacterioferritins [[cite:PUB00049948]].</p> <p>Ferritin is one of the major non-haem iron storage proteins in animals, plants, and microorganisms [[cite:PUB00016335]]. It consists of a mineral core of hydrated ferric oxide, and a multi-subunit protein shell that encloses the former and assures its solubility in an aqueous environment.</p> <p>In animals the protein is mainly cytoplasmic and there are generally two or more genes that encode closely related subunits - in mammals there are two subunits which are known as H(eavy) and L(ight). In plants ferritin is found in the chloroplast [[cite:PUB00002586]].</p>
