Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable ferric iron binding activity; ferrous iron binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular iron ion homeostasis and iron ion transport. Predicted to be located in autolysosome; autophagosome; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Predicted to be part of ferritin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal ganglia disease; hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome; neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 3; and neurodegenerative disease. Orthologous to human FTL (ferritin light chain).
