Plant and animal ferritins stem from a common ancestor, but plant ferritins exhibit various features that are different from those of animal ferritins. Phytoferritin is observed in plastids (e.g., chloroplasts in leaves, amyloplasts in tubers and seeds), whereas animal ferritin is largely found in the cytoplasm. The main difference in structure between plant and animal ferritins is the two specific...
The iron core within phytoferritin interior usually contains the high ratio of iron to phosphate, agreeing with the fact that phosphorus and iron are essential nutrient elements for plant growth. It was established that iron oxidation and incorporation into phytoferritin shell occurs in the plastid(s) where the high concentration of phosphate occurs. However, so far, the role of phosphate in iron...
