Examples of transferrin in the following topics:
-
- Iron binding proteins of the innate immune system include lactoferrin and transferrins.
- Lactoferrin (LF), also known as lactotransferrin (LTF), is a multifunctional protein of the transferrin family.
- Human transferrin is encoded by the TF gene.
- Transferrin glycoproteins bind iron very tightly, but reversibly.
- Transferrin has a molecular weight of around 80 KDa and contains two specific high-affinity Fe(III) binding sites.
-
- Iron is tightly bound to proteins such as hemoglobin, transferrin, lactoferrin, and ferritin.
