Expression of the H- and L-subunits of ferritin in bone marrow macrophages of patients with osteoarthritis

Koorts, Alida Maria; Levay, Peter Ferenc; Hall, Alan Norman; Van der Merwe, Christiaan Frederick; Becker, Piet J.; Frantzen, Doron Johan Manuel; Viljoen, Margaretha (Sage, 2012)

Osteoarthritis is a disease characterized by an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in afflicted joints. Excess iron, due to its role in the production of ROS and crystal deposition in the joints, ...
Expression of the H-subunit and L-subunit of ferritin in bone marrow macrophages and cells of the erythron during cellular immune activation

Koorts, Alida Maria; Levay, Peter Ferenc; Hall, Alan N.; Van der Merwe, Christiaan F.; Becker, Piet J.; Viljoen, Margaretha (Elsevier, 2011-05)

BACKGROUND: The expression of the two types of ferritin subunits, the H-subunit and L-subunit, has been shown to be differentially regulated by cytokines. The primary aim of the present study was to quantitatively measure ...
Ferritin and ferritin isoforms I : structure-function relationships synthesis degradation and secretion

Koorts, Alida Maria; Viljoen, Margaretha; Dannheimer, Sigi (Taylor & Francis, 2007-02)

Ferritin is the intracellular protein responsible for the sequestration, storage and release of iron. Ferritin can accumulate up to 4500 iron atoms as a ferrihydrite mineral in a protein shell and releases these iron atoms ...
