APOFERRITIN Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Verwenden
Apoferritin is a gel filtration molecular weight marker that can be used in gel filtration chromatography and protein chromatography. Apoferritin has the ability to demetallate hemin and to metallate protoporphyrin. Apoferritin is used as a novel nanocarrier to load methylene blue (MB) and demonstrate its potential applications for photodynamic therapy of cancer.
Biochem/physiol Actions
This protein shell of ferritin lacking iron is widely used for the calibration of gel filtration columns and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is very abundant in beta-cells of the pancreas where it acts as an anti-oxidant. When added to cultured endothelial cells apoferritin is taken up in a dose-responsive manner and appears to protect the cells from oxidant-mediated cytolysis.
