products description :
LTF, a globular multifunctional protein with antimicrobial activity (bacteriocide,
fungicide), is part of the innate defense, mainly at mucoses. Lactoferrin is found
in milk and many mucosal secretions such as tears and saliva. Lactoferrin is also
present in secondary granules of PMN and also is secreted by some acinar cells.
Human colostrum has the highest concentration, followed by human milk, then
cow milk.
Lactoferrin belongs to the transferrin family proteins (TF, melanotransferrin,
ovotransferin, etc.). Its molecular mass is 80,000 u (80 kDa).Lactoferrin
antimicrobial activity is due partly to its high affinity for Fe (ferric state). LF
proteolysis produces lactoferricin, kaliocin-1 small peptides with antimicrobial
activity.

ncbi summary :
This gene is a member of the transferrin family of genes and its protein product is found in the secondary granules of neutrophils. The protein is a major iron-binding protein in milk and body secretions with an antimicrobial activity, making it an important component of the non-specific immune system. The protein demonstrates a broad spectrum of properties, including regulation of iron homeostasis, host defense against a broad range of microbial infections, anti-inflammatory activity, regulation of cellular growth and differentiation and protection against cancer development and metastasis. Antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic activity has been found for this protein and its peptides. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
