Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionftn-2 encodes one of two C. elegans ferritin heavy chain homologs; loss of ftn-2 activity via deletion mutation results in slightly lower brood sizes and, under iron stress conditions, slightly faster growth from the L4 to adult stage of development, and slightly reduced lifespan; an ftn-2::gfp reporter fusion is expressed in diverse tissues, including the pharynx, intestine, and hypodermis, and its expression, along with that of ftn-2 mRNA, does not appear to change significantly under iron stress conditions.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005703

Automated_descriptionEnables identical protein binding activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-positive bacterium. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in body wall musculature and hypodermis. 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 FTMT (ferritin mitochondrial).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (21)
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
