Introduction :

Introduction: Transferrin is the iron-transport protein of vertebrate serum and donates iron to cells through interaction with a specific membrane receptor, CD71. Transferrin appears to be indispensable for most cells growing in tissue culture. It is referred to frequently as a growth factor because, in analogy to other growth factor-receptor interactions, proliferating cells express high numbers of transferrin receptors, and the binding of transferrin to their receptors is needed for cells to initiate and maintain their DNA synthesis. Apart from its role as an iron transport protein transferrin acts as a cytokine and has functions that may not be related to its iron-carrying capacity.

Description :

Bovine Holo Transferrin is a glycoprotein of approximately 80 kDa.

Source :

Escherichia Coli

Form :

Sterile Filtered Pink lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Contents :

The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives.

Purification :

Greater than 97.0% as determined by Cellulose Acetate.

Storage :

Lyophilized Bovine HTF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Bovine HTF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Q29443

Gene Full Name :

Serotransferrin

Synonyms :

Serotransferrin;Transferrin;Beta-1 metal-binding globulin;Siderophilin;TF;

Protein Function :

Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe (3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. It is responsible for the transport of iron from sites of absorption and heme degradation to those of storage and utilization. Serum transferrin may also have a further role in stimulating cell proliferation.

Subcellular Localization :

Secreted.

Tissue Specificity :

Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.
