Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionftn-1 encodes one of two C. elegans ferritin heavy chain homologs; ftn-1 activity is essential for normal lifespan under iron stress conditions and, in addition, has been reported to be essential for embryogenesis; an ftn-1::gfp reporter is expressed in the intestine at all stages of development and its expression, as well as that of ftn-1 mRNA, increases under iron stress conditions and in the background of mutations in the second ferritin-encoding gene, ftn-2.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005703

Automated_descriptionEnables identical protein binding activity. Involved in intracellular iron ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in intestine and pharyngeal-intestinal valve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including hemochromatosis type 5; hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome; and neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 3. Is an ortholog of human FTH1 (ferritin heavy chain 1); FTHL17 (ferritin heavy chain like 17); and FTMT (ferritin mitochondrial).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (42)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
