ftn-1 encodes one of two C. elegans ferritin heavy chain homologs; ftn-1 activity is essential for normal lifespan under iron stress conditions and, in addition, has been reported to be essential for embryogenesis; an ftn-1::gfp reporter is expressed in the intestine at all stages of development and its expression, as well as that of ftn-1 mRNA, increases under iron stress conditions and in the background of mutations in the second ferritin-encoding gene, ftn-2.
