Incazelo enemininingwane
I-Ferritin ingenye yezinhlobo eziyinhloko zensimbi egcinwe emzimbeni.Inamandla okubopha i-iron nokugcina insimbi ukuze igcine ukutholakala kwe-iron kanye nokuzinza okuhlobene kwe-hemoglobin emzimbeni.Ukulinganisa kwe-serum ferritin kuyinkomba ebucayi kakhulu yokuhlola ukuntuleka kwe-iron emzimbeni, esetshenziselwa ukuxilonga i-anemia yokuntuleka kwe-iron, isifo sesibindi, njll., futhi ingenye yezimpawu zamathumba amabi.
I-Ferritin iyi-ferritin etholakala kabanzi enomgogodla we-hydrated iron oxide osayizi we-nanometer kanye negobolondo leprotheyini elimise okwekheji.I-Ferritin iyiprotheni equkethe i-iron engu-20%.Njengomthetho, ikhona cishe kuzo zonke izicubu zomzimba, ikakhulukazi ama-hepatocyte namaseli e-reticuloendothelial, njengezinqolobane zensimbi.Ukulandelela amanani e-serum ferritin abonisa izitolo zensimbi ezivamile.Ukukalwa kwe-serum ferritin kuyisisekelo esibalulekile sokuthola i-anemia yokuntuleka kwensimbi.
