A crab cactus, also known as Thanksgiving or Christmas cactus, is a species of cactus named Schlumbergera. This cactus is popular for its colorful and bright flowers, which usually bloom around holiday seasons. The plant got its crab cactus nickname due to the segmented growth of its stems, which resemble the shape of a crab. They are native to the costal mountains of South-East Brazil.

They convert water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into glucose, which they use for energy, and oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere. Autophytic plants form the base of the food chain and are a primary source of energy for many ecosystems.

Ferritin is a universal intracellular protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms, including archaea, bacteria, algae, higher plants, and animals. It is the primary intracellular iron-storage protein in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, keeping iron in a soluble and non-toxic form. In humans, it acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload.Ferritin is found in most tissues as a cytosolic protein, but small amounts are secreted into the serum where it functions as an iron carrier. Plasma ferritin is also an indirect marker of the total amount of iron stored in the body; hence, serum ferritin is used as a diagnostic test for iron-deficiency anemia. Aggregated ferritin transforms into a toxic form of iron called hemosiderin.Ferritin is a globular protein complex consisting of 24 protein subunits forming a hollow nanocage with multiple metal–protein interactions. Ferritin that is not combined with iron is called apoferritin.
