Human Transferrin Research, Holo Transferrin, Apo Transferrin

Human Transferrin is a plasma protein for iron ion delivery. Human Transferrin is a glycoprotein with homologous N-terminal and C-terminal iron binding domains. Transferrin(TF) is related to other iron binding proteins including lactoferrin . When human transferrin loaded with iron encounters a transferrin receptor on the surface of a cell, it binds to it and is consequently transported into the cell in a vesicle. The cell will acidify the vesicle, causing human transferrin(TF) to release its iron ions. Each  TRANSFERRIN  molecule has the ability to carry two iron ions in the ferric form (Fe3+). Commercially purified Human Apo Transferrin and human Holo Transferrin available from diagnostic raw material manufacturers such as Lee Biosolutions, Inc .
