Human Transferrin

Human Transferrin (CAS 11096-37-0) is a plasma glycoprotein consisting of homologous N- and C-terminal domains that each bind ferric ions By selectively interacting with the transferrin receptor on cell surfaces it facilitates the uptake and transport of iron into cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis This molecular mechanism makes Human Transferrin a valuable tool in studies of iron metabolism and receptor-mediated cellular uptake It is widely employed in biomedical research including the development of drug delivery systems and investigations of cellular iron homeostasis and related pathological processes.
