== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FRIH_HUMAN FRIH_HUMAN] Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Has ferroxidase activity. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Human H ferritin (HuHF) assembles from 24 four-helix bundles to form an approximately 500 kDa protein with an 8 nm internal cavity. HuHF provides a useful model for studying the transport of metal ions in solution to buried reaction sites in proteins. In this study, HuHF was redesigned to facilitate noble metal ion (Au(3+), Ag(+)) binding, reduction, and nanoparticle formation within the cavity. Computationally determined amino acid substitutions were targeted at four external and four internal surface sites. A variant with a total of 96 cysteines and histidines removed from the exterior surface and 96 non-native cysteines added to the interior surface retained wild-type stability and structure, as confirmed by X-ray crystallography, and promoted the formation of silver or gold nanoparticles within the protein cavity. Crystallographic studies with HuHF variants provide insight into how ferritins control access of metal ions to interior residues that perform chemistry.
