ftn-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables 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).
