Abstract

Ferritin has been isolated from the hemolymph of the limpet Patella vulgata. The protein was homogeneous by electrophoretic criteria and appeared under the electron microscope as a central electron dense core surrounded by a polypeptide shell. The iron content of the protein was 22.5%, present in the central core which had a median diameter of 70–75 Å and was poorly crystalline. The polypeptide shell consisted of a single subunit of apparent Mr 25 000.
