TL;DR
Infusion of rats with [U-14C]glycine resulted in labelling of glycine and serine in plasma albumin and liver ferritin, suggesting that each is synthesized from a different pool of free amino acids.
Abstract
Infusion of rats with [U-14C]glycine resulted in labelling of glycine and serine in plasma albumin and liver ferritin. The patterms of labelling in these two proteins were not similar, suggesting that each is synthesized from a different pool of free amino acids.

Journal of Biological ChemistryBiosynthesis of Serum Proteins and Ferritin by Free and Attached Ribosomes of Rat Liver
359 Citations1969C M Redman
Polysomes of rat liver appear to be either attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum or free in the cytoplasm, and over 80% of the protein synthesized by attached Ribosomes was found to be serum proteins, and the free ribosomes made 7 to 20 times more ferritin than did attached ribosome.

The free polysomes showed a greater capacity than the mixed polysome population for incorporation of 14C-leucine into ferritin, whereas the reverse was true for 14C -leUCine incorporation into albumin.

Protein, DNA and RNA recovery in the preparations of isolated hepatocytes is satisfactory, amounting to 70% of that found in liver homogenate; glycogen, the most labile component examined, is partly lost or degraded during the manipulations.

Human liver sections were stained with anti- human serum albumin and/or anti-human fibrin monomer fluorescent conjugates, although albumin was found in the nuclei of some parenchymal cells, depending on the method of fixation.

110 Citations1974E. B. Fern, Peter J. Garlick
Rates of tissue protein synthesis calculated from the incorporation into protein of both radioactive glycine and serine, either infused or derived, were very similar when the precursor specific radioactivity was taken to be that in the total free amino acids of the tissue.

The results indicate and define the intracellular compartmentalization of the leucine pool available for protein synthesis and show twofold differences betweenLeucine specific activity in the growing polypeptide chain of free polysomes and that of membrane-bound polysome.

Results support the previous suggestion based on kinetic evidence that the albumin-like protein(s), in the anti-albumin precipitate from rat liver, is an albumin precursor.

69 Citations1973E. B. Fern, Peter J. Garlick
Infusion of rats with [U-(14)C]glycine resulted in labelling of glycine and serine in tissue proteins and the pattern of labelling more nearly resembled that of the free amino acids in the tissue than in the plasma.
Journal of Biological ChemistryEffect of Iron Loading on Non-Heme Iron Compounds in Different Liver Cell Populations

Concentrations of total non-heme iron and ferritin iron were determined for whole livers and isolated Kupffer cells of rats before and after iron treatment to determine the contents of hepatocytes and nonhepatocytes and the protein content of the K upffer cell fraction was commensurate with its estimated contribution to liver volume.

53 Citations1971Donald G. Puro, G Richter
Results of experiments on the incorporation of labeled amino acids into the protein of ferritin (apoferritin) indicate that both, membrane-bound ( poly)ribosomes and free (poly) ribosomes are implicated in the synthesis of apoferritIn, and that free (Poly)ribsomes synthesize substantially more apoferitin per milligram RNA than bound ( Poly) Ribosomes.

A new method for small scale purification of ferritin, based on polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis, is described, and incorporation of [14C]leucine into ferrit in isolated perfused male rat liver seemed to be stimulated by preadministration of estradiol-17-β in vivo.
Journal of Biological ChemistrySubunit Heterogeneity in Rat Liver Apoferritin
32 Citations1974Maria C. Linder, Joan R. Moor +1 more
Labeling studies showed that synthesis and turnover of the two subunits occur at different rates and respond differently to iron treatment, consistent with earlier evidence that ferritin subunits of different molecular weights are made on different polyribosome populations.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research CommunicationsSubunit heterogeneity in ferritin
31 Citations1973Yoshiro Niitsu, Kunihiko Ishitani +1 more
It is suggested that ferritin should be considered to contain at least two different polypeptide subunits, and this proposal contradicts the prevailing view that it consists solely of 24 identical subunits.

A study in rats to determine the distribution of ferritin iron stores between reticuloendothelial and parenchymal cells of the liver found that in the rat, hepaticferritin can be equated with paren chymal ferritIn stores.
