Certificate of Origin: All raw material used in the manufacturing of Transferrin is of US origin and was manufactured in USDA-registered plants. The animals used receiveCl both ante- and post-mortem inspections under certified veterinary care and were inspected to be free of apparent infectious and contagious diseases infections and injurious parasites known to be transferable to hoofed animals, such as blue-tongue fever. In addition, all materials were heated during processing to a temperature exceeding (65 degree C) for a period of 10 hours and subjected to a pH of 5.0 or lower for at least 3 hours. Foot and mouth disease, rinderpest, contagious bovine pleur0p.neumonia, hog cholera, swine vesticular disease and African swine fever are not known to exist in the United States. Age of bovine raw material is less than 3 year.

products description :
Transferrin is a single polypeptide chain glycoprotein and is a member of the iron binding family of proteins. It has a molecular weight of 79.5kD and a serum concentration range of 1800-2700mg/L. It is synthesized in the liver and consists of two domains each having a high affinity reversible binding site for Fe3+. The iron is transported in blood and interstitial fluids to sites of use and disposal. Iron/transferrin is essential in hemoglobin synthesis and for certain types of cell division. Serum concentration rises in iron deficiency and pregnancy and falls in iron overload, infection and inflammatory conditions. Isolated from fresh bovine plasma from certified USA herds and tested for adventitious viruses, bovine transferrin is an essential cellular transport protein via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Suitable for use in serum-free media and RPMI.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a glycoprotein with an approximate molecular weight of 76.5 kDa. It is thought to have been created as a result of an ancient gene duplication event that led to generation of homologous C and N-terminal domains each of which binds one ion of ferric iron. The function of this protein is to transport iron from the intestine, reticuloendothelial system, and liver parenchymal cells to all proliferating cells in the body. This protein may also have a physiologic role as granulocyte/pollen-binding protein (GPBP) involved in the removal of certain organic matter and allergens from serum. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
uniprot summary :
TF: 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. Defects in TF are the cause of atransferrinemia (ATRAF). Atransferrinemia is rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by iron overload and hypochromic anemia. Belongs to the transferrin family. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide.
