Which statement about the regulation of ferritin in organic chemistry reactions is false?
A
Ferritin acts as an iron storage protein in the body.
B
Ferritin levels increase in response to high iron concentrations.
C
Ferritin regulation is independent of iron levels.
D
Ferritin synthesis is regulated by iron levels in the cell.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of ferritin: Ferritin is a protein complex that stores iron in a soluble and non-toxic form, releasing it when needed. This is crucial for maintaining iron homeostasis in the body.
Recognize the regulation mechanism: Ferritin synthesis is tightly regulated by iron levels in the cell. When iron levels are high, ferritin synthesis increases to store the excess iron safely.
Identify the false statement: The statement 'Ferritin regulation is independent of iron levels' contradicts the known mechanism of ferritin regulation, as ferritin synthesis is indeed dependent on iron levels.
Evaluate the other statements: The statements 'Ferritin acts as an iron storage protein in the body' and 'Ferritin levels increase in response to high iron concentrations' are consistent with the role and regulation of ferritin.
Conclude which statement is false: Based on the understanding of ferritin's role and regulation, the false statement is 'Ferritin regulation is independent of iron levels.'
