[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FRIL_HUMAN FRIL_HUMAN]] Defects in FTL are the cause of hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome (HHCS) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/600886 600886]]. It is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by early-onset bilateral cataract. Affected patients have elevated level of circulating ferritin. HHCS is caused by mutations in the iron responsive element (IRE) of the FTL gene.<ref>PMID:20159981</ref> Defects in FTL are the cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation type 3 (NBIA3) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/606159 606159]]; also known as adult-onset basal ganglia disease. It is a movement disorder with heterogeneous presentations starting in the fourth to sixth decade. It is characterized by a variety of neurological signs including parkinsonism, ataxia, corticospinal signs, mild nonprogressive cognitive deficit and episodic psychosis. It is linked with decreased serum ferritin levels.<ref>PMID:20159981</ref><ref>PMID:16116125</ref> | |||
==Function== | |||
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FRIL_HUMAN FRIL_HUMAN]] Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. 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).<ref>PMID:19923220</ref><ref>PMID:20159981</ref> | |||
