| Function |
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11323407, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15201052}.

| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11323407}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Detected in testis and erythroleukemia. Expression is very low or not detectable in brain, colon, heart, kidney, liver, lung, muscle, placental, spleen and small intestine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11323407}.
