Abstract
Ferritin, as an iron storage protein, has the potential to inhibit ferroptosis by reducing excess intracellular free iron concentrations and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS). An insufficient amount of ferritin is one of the conditions that can lead to ferroptosis through the Fenton reaction mediated by ferrous iron. Consequently, upregulation of ferritin at the transcriptional or posttranscriptional level may inhibit ferroptosis. In this review, we have discussed the essential role of ferritin in ferroptosis and the regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis in ferritin-deficient individuals. The description of the regulatory factors governing ferritin and its properties in regulating ferroptosis as underlying mechanisms for the pathologies of diseases will allow potential therapeutic approaches to be developed.
期刊介绍：
Current Protein & Peptide Science publishes full-length/mini review articles on specific aspects involving proteins, peptides, and interactions between the enzymes, the binding interactions of hormones and their receptors; the properties of transcription factors and other molecules that regulate gene expression; the reactions leading to the immune response; the process of signal transduction; the structure and function of proteins involved in the cytoskeleton and molecular motors; the properties of membrane channels and transporters; and the generation and storage of metabolic energy. In addition, reviews of experimental studies of protein folding and design are given special emphasis. Manuscripts submitted to Current Protein and Peptide Science should cover a field by discussing research from the leading laboratories in a field and should pose questions for future studies. Original papers, research articles and letter articles/short communications are not considered for publication in Current Protein & Peptide Science.
