Native Human Transferrin

• Cat.No.: TF-391H
• Product Overview: Native human TF was expressedin Human plasma,which having a molecule weight of 77 kDa.

Specification

• Cat. No.: TF-391H
• Description: TFis a monomeric glycoprotein found in plasma at an average concentration of 250mg/100 ml. The Holo form of TF is iron saturated and also calledSiderophilin. The specific iron-binding protein in plasma, it has a role inthe transportation and distribution of iron among the body organs, in ironmetabolism and prevention of iron loss via the kidneys. Stored in bone marrowas Tf-bound iron, it also possesses bacteriostatic and fungistatic activity.Clinically, decreases in TF are observed in congenital disorders, newborns,inflammatory diseases, hypoproteinemias and nephrotic syndrome; increases arefound in pregnancy, iron-deficiency anemias, and inoculation hepatitis. TF isrequired by all types of cells in cultures for maximal growth. It is,therefore, an important transport factor used in defined culture media. Eachhuman transferring molecule has the ability to carry two iron ions in theferric form (Fe3+). Dissolves in water at 10 mg per ml. Prepared from plasmashown to be non reactive for HbsAG, anti-HCV, anti-HBc, and negative foranti-HIV 1 & 2 by FDA approved tests.
