Native Human Serum Transferrin APO (Iron Free)

• Cat.No.: TF-8271H
• Product Overview: Human Serum Transferrin(Iron Free) was purified from Human Serum.

Specification

• Description: 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. Human Transferrin is related to other iron binding proteins including lactoferrin. When human transferrin loaded with iron encounters a human 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 to release its iron ions. Each human transferrin molecule has the ability to carry two iron ions in the ferric form (Fe3+).
