Which of the following is/are storage protein :

A
Myoglobin
B
Ovalbumin
C
Ricin/Hepcidin and Ferritin both
D
All
High-Yield Explanation
All Correct : Ovalbumin, Ferritin, Glutelin > Myoglobin Ricin is a phytotoxin. Whereas , ovalbumin, ferritin and glutelin are storage proteins.Hepcidin is the chief regulator protein known to play a central role in systemic iron hemostasisQ. It bind to cellular iron expoer ferropoin and triggers its internalization and degradation. When plasma iron levels are high, hepatic synthesis of hepcidin increases, thus reducing iron absorption in intestine (mucosal block); preventing recycling of iron from macrophages and reducing placental iron transfer. This leads to reduction in circulating iron levels (hypoferremia). The opposite occurs when plasma iron levels are low
