RGD1561661 - similar to Ferritin light chain (Ferritin L subunit)

Predicted to enable ferric iron binding activity and ferrous iron binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular sequestering of iron ion. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
